Reducing Anti Depressant
 

How long in general before one starts to notice symptoms reappearing and how to tell the difference between symptoms reappearing and withdrawal?

thanks

Not to come off them totally just to see how I get on on a lower maintenance dose

Which antidepressants are you on?

Fluoxetine. Thanks for the reply.

Fluoxetine has a long half-life so tapering down doesn't usually produce as many withdrawal symptoms as medications with shorter half-lives.

i stopped taking mine for like 2 days.. and on the third day i had a small anxiety attack.

-Irrational thought
-crying
-fear

only first thing that happen.. during my attacks my irrational thoughts become my thoughts.. and i just go crazy rofl. So the attack i had was mild very very mild..the most mild i've had in a while before being put on med. But i didn't taper down i just stopped taking it for two days because when i'm on the meds.. i hit into the "oh well..so what?" phase.
