no!
you don't have to, but it's more convinient for the doe and you if you wean it yourself.
You can ween yourself of anything.
You should wean yourself slowly from this medication as withdrawal and side effects can be uncomfortable. Wean yourself off slowly by 25 to 50 mg - almost identically to the way in which you started taking the drug - under the supervision of your physician.
Your doctor should help wean you off of it, if your doing it alone, you can probably start by lowering your daily dosage by cutting the pills in half for a month or 2, but it might be better and safer to have your doctor wean you off.
No, they are similar enough. You should have no trouble taking zoloft your last day and starting lexapro the next. Side effects you can look for would be nausea, headache, and upset stomach. You might also have a little trouble sleeping for the first few days as your body adjusts to the switch.
Yes if you wean yourself and don't buy it
it means to quit something all of at once! you don't "wean" yourself off it.
To wean yourself off of ADHD medication, consult your healthcare professional. It is dangerous with many drugs (including drugs used to treat ADHD) to discontinue use abruptly and can result in withdrawal symptoms. Ask for a lower dose and slowly discontinue use.
You're making things worse trying to do this yourself. Have a doctor help you to wean yourself off so you won't get so many withdrawal symptoms. There are good medications that help with this, and a good doctor can provide help and instruction to get yourself clean! Bromfed DM isn't going to help.
Cut the pill in half to reduce your dose and slowly start taking it less.
To answer very simply, you should not try to wean yourself off of any medication without detailed instructions from your physician. Doing it on your own can lead to very unfavorable outcomes and has potential risks to your health.
