How dangerous is quitting Nexito Plus?
I took a full pill from March to September. I took 1/2 a pill from September to November 18th and then I quit it as it was hard to cut the pill to 1/4th. I experienced withdrawl symptoms - fatigue, nausea, diziness,and a slight headache. How dangerous is it to stop taking them cold turkey and how long do these symptoms last?
Kindly tell me the exact dose of medicine u r taking
Tapering should be done gradually and these effects will waive off with tym
U can connect me for detailed further treatment plan on seven zero eight two zero two two zero six two

Hi sir, usually antidepressants aren't tapered so quickly without consulting a psychiatrist. They need to be maintained on the optimal dosage for atleast 6-9 months.
Also, the symptoms you mentioned can be a part of withdrawal from the medicines or due to the symptoms of your original disorder.
Next Steps
Consult a psychiatrist
