A doctor has provided 1 answer
Check with your MD: You are wise to know not to suddenly stop this medication. This class of drug (SSRI) can cause issues if you do not slowly taper off your dose. Check with your prescribing doctor to get specifics for you. It will vary depending on other drugs you may be taking, and how long you have been taking drug. If side effects are bothering you, ask dr if you can switch to a different drug. Good luck!
