What happens if you abruptly stop ssri?
6 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Could be a bad idea: Suddenly stopping your ssri could lead to serious problems called discontinuation syndrome and it is no pleasant at all. Talk to your prescribing doctor to review your reasons for wanting to stop and discuss alternative options or proper ways to stop.

SSRI: This depends on daily dosage and how long u have been on it. Gradual tapering over several weeks is duable as recommended by your prescribing doctor.
