Can you tell me if i could stop taking my antidepressant after 2 days?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Probably o.k.: With the vast majority of antidepressants, stopping after 2 days would not be problematical If you're stopping because of side effects, ask your prescriber about lowering the starting dose or switching to another antidepressant.
