Discuss w/ Dr: The Dr who prescribed is a good source for this advice. It's part of their professional responsibility to patients. It also can build the sort of relationship that can really optimize treatment over time. It's always good to discuss this at the very beginning of a new Rx. You are right to want to avoid w/drawal. Best!
