Regarding Tapering nexito medication
I was prescribed Nexito 5 mg, and my doctor advised me to stop it on 15 January 2026. Instead, I reduced it to 2.5 mg daily and have remained stable with no withdrawal symptoms.
Since I was originally advised to stop directly from 5 mg, would it be okay to stop from 2.5 mg now, or would a further taper be preferable? If so, what tapering schedule would you recommend? Would it be reasonable to stay on 2.5 mg until my academic commitments are over and taper afterwards?

A detailed clinical assessment is advised to understand the issue.

Hi,
you can stop it completely if you have completed a period of 6 months after complete remission of symptoms.

2.5 mg is a small dose , it's reasonable to stop all at once, or taking it alternate days and stop. If u feel this small dose is some how helping and want to take till ur academic demands are met it's also okay, but would advise to see a psychiatrist just in case
