Most antidepressants, the SSRI's, and similar ones like Effexora and Cybalta, have cautions regarding their abrupt withdrawal. It is usually recommended that patients taper them down than to just stop them all at once. Check with the doctor or pharmacist as to which is the best way to do this. Tablets MAY be able to be broken, or you may need new Rx's for smaller dosages of capsules. I always figure it's better to taper them than to risk withdrawal symptoms.
