Tapering Off Brintellix
I have been taking Brintellix (10 mg) since March, 2020. I noticed substantial improvements for the first three months. However, later, I did not perceive a lot of noticeable effect. Since last month, I have been doing excellent owing to a disciplined regimen of mindfulness, exercise, yoga, sleep meditation, socialising, and so on. I decided to taper off on my own. Two weeks ago, I reduced the dosage to 5 mg. And I week ago, I discontinued.
However, 2 days ago, a lot of things started happening. Episodes of rage, crying spells and thoughts about death came back. I took 5 mg again today. How can I taper off this medicine?
