Will stopping my antidepressants help reduce their adverse effects?

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.
