Speak to your doctor: You may still benefit from the drug by just cutting back on the daily dose but should speak to your doctor to discuss the feasibility of that recommendation given that it is helping you clinically.

Per my doc, stopped pristiq (desvenlafaxine) cold turkey and started 5mg of buspar, 2x per day to help with chronic nausea. Now dizzy to the point of extreme nausea. Is it the pristiq (desvenlafaxine) or Buspar causing this? Help!

My doctor just switched me from buspar to 2mg of abilify, and the nausea I've gotten is ridiculous. Even after taking it at night, I'm still nauseous and dizzy. Is it safe to take zofran 8mg for this nausea, even though I'm taking Zoloft 100mg?
