Some symptoms: If your physician is weaning you as recommended, you may expect a minimum of withdrawal symptoms. This is the reason for a slow, gradual dose reduction. Hang in there, its worth it!

Weaning: Work closely with your doctor to watch for recurrence of original symptoms of depression/anxiety as u taper down. Good luck.

MEDICATION: Best to discuss medication with your Psychiatrist. If uncomfortable with your Dr. consult another for a second opinion. Have a physical exam by a Dr. to determine if you have a physical illness. Consult with a Clinical Psychologist for psychotherapy with ZOOM sessions. Fears and anxiety could be heightened due to the Covid-19 pandemic. Stay safe & hopeful to elevate your immune system.
