Some meds do require tapering off of. This isn't just for preventing mood episode triggering, but for withdrawal symptom prevention. Stopping more than one at a time makes knowing which does what harder.
I thought we could start with the trazodone, as that seems to be the most useless, then do prazosin and finally Cymbalta (the big one! Cymbalta withdrawal sucks. I've gone off it before).
