Dizziness post medication of 50 days
I had taken fluvoxamine resperidone and clonazepam for 50 days and after only one day of stopping medication I started getting feelings of dizziness and sudden depression I could not even get up in the morning and I am not able to work efficiently which fuels the rush of feeling useless... Do I need to further take medicine
You may have got withdrawal or rebound symptoms due sudden or abrupt stoppage of medications. These medicines need to be slowly tapered and then stopped over a few weeks. Please consult a psychiatrist for proper guidance and supervision of tapering the medications.

Hello Mr.
I understood your problem.
-- One thing I want to acknowledge you most of
psychiatric medicine should not be stopped
abruptly.
-- All the 3 above drugs will slowly be excreted
out of your body on an average of 3 to 4 days.
Still abruptly stopping drugs may cause
discontinuation or rebound reactions to you.
-- Proper rescheduling your treatment will
improve your condition.
Next Steps
-- Consult your psychiatrist and discuss the
duration of abstinence of your medicine .
-- Reschedule your doses of all of the above
drugs depending upon your current situation.
