Not necessarily : Antidepressants usually take a while to reach their "peak" effectiveness". They also accumulate in your system so that sometimes a 2-3 day lapse is not too problematic. As far as stopping it all together, please contact your physician before you do anything. Often these drugs require a "tapering" down to prevent serious adverse reactions. Please call your physiican.
