AS, I thought I could offer you some advice for once. I have been taking SSRI's for years and have come of them cold turkey a couple of times and tapered off them. The side effects are normally only for a couple of days when you quit cold turkey; I never had any from tapering. Be aware that SSRI's can stay in your system for a couple of months, so it may take awhile before they completely wear off. I remember one time I came off them and was fine for three months and then all of a sudden I was depressed again. Not a big deal, I got a refill and started taking them again and I was fine in two weeks.
