It depends what med and the dosage, but honestly with any med affecting your brain I would recommend tapering off.

YES!! trust me you wanna wean off. i was once taken off meds far too fast and i had horrific anxiety and physically could not stop shaking all day. i also started having new intrusive thoughts that stuck with me for years and only dissipated through intense therapy. the symptoms of withdrawal are not fun at all
