ALWAYS, Always TAPER down on your meds. NEVER go cold turkey, it's the worst thing you can do to your body. Your body needs time to get acclimated to less SSRI in your system, the same as it took time (4 weeks or more) for your body to adjust to an increase. If you don't taper down slowly (10% of the med per week is one rule) you may suffer withdrawal. It's just not worth it. Good luck!!!
