(2007) Recognising and managing antidepressant discontinuation symptoms. Advances in Psychiatric Treatment. 13, 447-457</ref>. It is recommended that, unless otherwise indicated by drug monographs, withdrawal should be gradual. Typically a period of 1 week per month of treatment is allowed for withdrawal.
