You should-not taper it down by your self. Please consult psychiatrist because they started you with diva of after taking your detailed history, if somehow you are not able to connect with your doctor, consult other psychiatrist. Dont stop medicine in between

Do not taper without professional advice! Do it safely under supervision so you can be assured once you are off meds
