A member asked:
Is it safe to stop taking an anti-depressant like amoxapine?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
In most cases, no: It is not advisable to stop any antidepressant without professional opinion. In addition to the worsening of the condition for which the antidepressant was prescribed, withdrawal side effects can occur and may be serious.
