I recommend reading information on beyondmeds.com. That will have links to other resources as well which I recommend. How slowly you withdrawal has a lot to do with the class of med and your temperament. I do recommend working with a doctor although it can be challenging to find somebody who really understands it. In that case I would still consult them but also read everything you can find. Hopefully the doctor will be better at working with than mine was. Also, going off and on meds repeatedly is, IMO, worse for you than staying on them. I glean that from various books and articles so no real proof. You should know too that there is pretty good evidence that somebody that has been on ssri's for a length of time is at risk for rebound. Unfortunately it gets mistaken for your original depression coming back. The reason it wouldn't be is if you did not have repeating depression before meds.

The Harm Reduction Guide is still out there and has been updated. I think you can still get a free version but it is also in paper format on amazon. You might have to dig for the free version. The author is Will Hall.
