SSRIs (including sertraline, escitalopram, fluoxetine, citalopram and paroxetine) are widely used for depression and anxiety, but stopping them abruptly can cause antidepressant discontinuation syndrome with symptoms like irritability, insomnia, GI distress and dizziness. The safest approach is a gradual, clinician-guided taper (sometimes over weeks to months), occasionally with a switch to a longer-acting SSRI, and smaller reductions late in the taper as the brain becomes more sensitive to serotonin changes. Supportive lifestyle factors—regular exercise, consistent sleep, good nutrition, hydration, stress management, therapy and social support—along with avoiding alcohol or recreational drugs, can help stabilize mood during tapering; always consult an experienced prescriber to tailor the plan.
