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?

You can stop the medication if no symptoms at all.. But it's better to monitor for any symptoms for next few weeks or a month.

Hi,
you can stop it completely if you have completed a period of 6 months after complete remission of symptoms.
Next Steps
Keep in touch with your doctor if you feel any symptoms like earlier.

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
