What is the recommended protocol for gradually and safely tapering off Nexito (escitalopram) 10 mg after four years of continuous treatment for anxiety and chronic overthinking?

Since you have been taking Nexito (escitalopram) for four years, it is very important to taper off slowly under your doctor's supervision to prevent discontinuation symptoms. Typically, a safe protocol involves gradually reducing your dose?such as moving from 10 mg to 7.5 mg, then 5 mg, and eventually 2.5 mg?with each step lasting several weeks. This gradual pace gives your brain time to adjust. Please consult your prescribing doctor before making any changes, as they can customize a schedule that works best for you.
