You have to look at the half life of any meds you want to get off of.

I am no Doctor so this is just my experience ..

When I have tapered off a med I cut down slowly so that blow back isn't so harsh for my brain.. each decrease I would take for 1-2 weeks, Then I'd cut dose down again for 1-2 weeks . When I step down to the lowest dose a week then Id go every other day for a week then every other night for a week then I'd go every every 3 days for a week..

All psych meds need time to work. Now your brain has to go back to work sans meds

Good luck
