Hello, Thanks for choosing Chat Doctor for posting your query. I have gone through your question in detail and I can understand what you are going through. Now that you have taken the medication for 2 years it is time to discontinue it. But the fact is that it should not be discontinued abruptly. You need to meet your psychiatrist and need to discuss with him the procedure of discontinuation. This needs to be discontinued gradually over 2-3 weeks. Hope I am able to answer your concerns. If you have any further query, I would be glad to help you. In future if you wish to contact me directly, you can use the below-mentioned link
