Hello Fifteen: Well... I'm not a mental health or a medical professional. I can't give you authoritative advice on this. But I've gone off a number of different psych med's in years past. Sometimes I just did it on my own. Sometimes I did it with my psychiatrist's advice. But either way I always tapered down gradually.

I personally can't recommend that you stop cold turkey. On the other hand, if you've only been taking this med since August 1st, that's a very short period of time. Going off cold turkey may work for you. It's probably one of those things that you won't know the answer to, for better or worse, until you try it. At least these are my thoughts with regard to your post.
