No antidepressant drugs should be stopped abruptly or one could experience withdrawal symptoms. One should always taper down when coming off of an antidepressant. Depending on the person, the person could experience brain shivers, dizziness, sweating, insomnia, nausea and irritability. More seriously, the depression could resurface.

sudden withdrawal of anti depressants might lead to re emergence of depressive symptoms, so gradual decrease of the dose is the rule.
