What happens if i stop taking antidepressant abruptly?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Could be a bad idea: Suddenly stopping your antidepressant medication 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.
