Medical question, what is the best way to come of antidepressants

well when i came off them basically i took them on alternate days for about 2 weeks i think, then i stopped taking them.

however i had not been on them nearly as long as you - only about 3 months actually.

so i'd go back to your doctor/psychiatrist and ask him the best way cause every drugs different and you've been on them a while now.

i was on fluoxetine (prozac) by the way. x

you really should not be doing it without the help of your doctor. You need to be ''weaned'' off. It could be damaging to you if you do this incorrectly.

If depends on what meds and what you are taking them for. Some meds have a shorter half life than others so will needs to reduced slowly. If you come off them too quickly you will relapse and will have to start over again.
I suggest taking to your doctor who can draw up a management plan for you and Monitor and support you through this time.

Talk with your doctor. Different meds have different effects and your personal history is important.
