How to safely stop my anti depressant and anti phycotic medication?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Stopping meds.: Depending on how long u have been on the meds., reasons for wanting to stop, & the current dose of each. Slow gradual taper is possible, but only under close supervision by your prescribing doctor, keeping in mind that there would be risk of recurrence of the original symptoms the medications were treating.
