From what I have read there is a small but significant minority who have protracted withdrawal symptoms. The problem is that there doesn't seem to be anyway to predict who will suffer and who will be ok. I was on a total of 7 meds-if I had followed the advice of survivingantidepressants I would have taken 14 years to get off meds. That seemed a bit long. What I have done is hold after each drop in meds for a month to see if I am having any reaction. And if I am not sure, I hold for another month. In the last year I have stopped taking Abilify and Buspar. Decreased welbutrin, nortriptylene, xanax. and I have not changed cyclobenzaprine. So I seem to be ok with tapering for a month or two. But I am always ready to try a small updose and I do take my time between drops.
