If an antidepressant is causing uncomfortable adverse effects, slowly and safely reducing the dose will probably help to reduce these effects. It is very important that you discuss a taper plan based on your individual risk factors with a knowledgeable clinician before reducing your dosage. NEVER STOP TAKING ANTIDEPRESSANTS SUDDENLY – this can lead to severe withdrawal symptoms.
