I very gradually decreased from my medication and I'm not doing well at all. At the time I went off of medication, I had no anxiety. A little while into the no medication phase, the anxiety hit me like a brick wall. I am going back on medication soon. I can't bear another day like this.Maybe your situation will be different - though if you have bad anxiety problems, I doubt it. But maybe you need to do this experiment now, if for no other reason than to appreciate your medication again. If so, reduce slowly as the others have suggested.
