Dr. Barbara Lavi answered

Specializes in Clinical Psychology

Speak to your Dr: I am not a physician, but as a psychologist psychiatrists have always advised that clients should not stop their medications all at once. They need to stop them gradually. Call your doctor & ask them what to do if you are feeling dizzy.
