My daughter has been taking trazodone for 2.5 years at 150 mg. Can you just stop taking it or do you have to be weaned off? If you just stop will there be risks?

Trazodone is an SARI antidepressant, so it works on brain chemicals, which means an abrupt cessation of it could result in some withdrawal symptoms and a rebound effect.

The rebound effect is usually the biggest problem, because it may result in symptoms that are worse than what someone was taking it to treat.

Thus, a slow gradual taper, under the supervision of a physician, is the best and safest way to stop these types of medications.

Are there any other questions or comments?

Is there anything I can help with?
