Call your doc first.: You should never discontinue a prescribed medication without consulting your doctor first.

Stop: Ssris may cause agitation from akathesia (a feeling of intense internal restlessness), unmasking of bipolar disorder, intensification of anxiety if started at too high a dose. And sometimes just because. But it can be dangerous. Get in touch with prescribing doc.
