I appreciate your query on Chat Doctor. The medicine you mentioned is probably Escitalopram which is an antidepressant and a Selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor. Ideally they should be started in consultation with a psychiatrist. If you are having the symptoms of low mood, weeping spells, poor concentration, decreased interest in life and sleep/ appetite disturbances you can restart the medicines but continue for 6 months when you feel absolutely fine (not total 6 months) and then gradually off them. I hope you find this helpful.
