As you were instructed by another anon..if you wish to get off the SSRI then you have to taper. You don't need to go as slow as one bead at a time…you can try taking a half dose daily for a week and then a half dose every other day for a week. After two weeks of this you can stop but expect some "zaps" or headaches for a few days. If your dose is above the normal dosing for any reason you may want to stretch it out to 3 weeks of tapering.
