Stopping treatment with atypical antidepressants
Atypical antidepressants aren't considered addictive. However, stopping antidepressant treatment abruptly or missing several doses may cause withdrawal-like symptoms. Symptoms will vary depending on how the drug works. This is sometimes called discontinuation syndrome. Work with your doctor to gradually decrease your dose.
