Hello,
It's totally variable by the individual. 1 in 3 on cymbalta have withdrawal symptoms that last for weeks to months!
That is about the worst for an antidepressant and some can be just stopped because they stay in the system for weeks afterwards anyway. None of which applies here.
Sizodon 0.5 MG Tablet is an antipsychotic medicine that is used in the treatment of Schizophrenia and other mood disorders.
It is not an anti-depressant and might not be doing anything in mild depression and might not be able to even have withdrawal. In seriously deranged individuals with hallucinations, delusions, psychosis, you wouldn't want them "off their meds".
Again, does not seem to apply here at all. Anti-psychotics by themselves in the non-psychotic do not have much withdrawal. Cannot say in your particular case, but generally.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
Regards,
