Taper off: Generally side effects of withdrawals from medications are noticed when the medication is abruptly stopped. To decrease the signs and symptoms of a withdrawals the best thing is to taper off the medication slowly. Discuss this with your physician to come up with a tapering plan. If you feel unhappy with your physician you can always get a second opinion.
