You need to gradually reduce the dose--otherwise you may make things worse and your feelings will go amok. Check in with your doctor before doing so. It is very tempting when you feel well to stop taking medications, but it is short-sighted.

Answer

Suddenly stopping antidepressants without gradually withdrawing it causes untoward effects. Stopping antidepressants takes you back into depression. Some people in that state have attempted suicide. Many are fed up of antidepressants if they haven't experienced complete relief and desire to stop antidepressants. In this cases 1)It is sensible to inform your doctor 2)with the permission of doctor you may start gradually withdrawing one medicine, stop it. Then another medicine dose be tapered then stopped. At any point if the symptoms of depression return you know that medicine has been useful to you and you continue taking it in the correct dose.
