Dear
Welcome to HCM
We understand your concerns

I read your description clearly. Nexitoforte is used to manage depression and is a SSRI and contains escitalopram oxalate 10 mg, clonazepam 0.5 mg. This medicine is very commonly used throughout India.

SSRI medicines usually don't inhibit system negatively and dependence might not have happened as you are using it for just 8 months. But you must be sure that you can discontinue it. For better assessment consult your psychiatrist.

You can go with meditation and psychotherapy for better management of depression.
Hope my answer is up to your satisfaction. You can contact me if you have further queries.
Get well soon.
