Hi
Thanks for using healthcare magic
In case of chronic depression, reduction of drugs could lead to relapse of symptoms. If she has anxiety symptoms, in that case, there is need to increase the dose rather than decrease it. You can consult your psychiatrist about the symptoms and in case, you need other opinion, you can consult psychiatrist near by your locality. If you need further help, you can ask.
Thanks
