How long taken?: If you've been taking it for more than a few weeks, it might be wise to halve the dose for these two days to avoid w/drawal. Especially if you cold turkey and feel anything really bad - take 25mg then. Plan w/ the new Dr ahead about what to do if you're not pleased w/ a Rx. Also consider CBT therapy - no side effects and w/ meds it can reduce dose need. Best!
