How do i stop taking Avanza

I have been taking Avanza since December, i suffered from depression, got sick alot from thinking to much and couldntenough sleep during nights, also got scared while being around people...Avanza cured most of all my problems, can cope through my days...but now i just feel numbness of feelings, cant be sad, cant be happy, cant cry, feel nothing but anger.

I want to come off these meds because im scared of my future relationships with other girls, what they will think of me, think this is the best for me...

I've been taking 30mgs of a nighttime, what do i need to do to stop these meds?

Josh, this is a powerful medication and you should talk to your doctor about the rate of withdrawal.  In general the guidelines are to reduce over a three week period and then stop. YOu cut the dose down to minimum in first two weeks, and then take minimum every other day for last week, then stop if there are no symptoms or warning signs...
