Stopping antidepressants and antipsychotic-type medications requires a very slow and structured taper, sometimes over weeks to months. Sudden or fast reduction commonly leads to withdrawal symptoms like anxiety, dizziness, irritability, sleep disturbance, and body sensations. A doctor usually adjusts the dose in small steps, switches to safer alternatives if needed, and monitors symptoms while tapering. With a guided taper plan, most people can safely come off long-term medication.
