A member asked:
Can you suggest tips for coming off an antidepressant?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Gradual taper: Not going cold turkey. Tapering your medication over the course of a month or even two can help reduce anxiety and depressive symptoms from coming back, as well as reduce myalgias and other flu like withdrawal symptoms from some of the antidepressants (e.g. Paxil, (paroxetine) effexor).
