nikki....I posted the same question a while back. Didn't get many responses. I called a pharmicist and asked him. He said that there shouln't be any problem with just stopping the drug, however, he did say it was a relatively new drug and it is always best to taper off any drug. He suggested that I taper off at 2.5mgs every three days, just to be safe. I would really try to speak with your doctor before you do anything with this drug. If you cannot get ahold of your doc, call several pharmicists and get their take on how you should handle it. The phamicist I spoke with spent 10 minutes talking to me about the drug and why I was taking it and how to withdraw from it.
