want to get off 10 mg a day

want to get off 10 mg a day

Started 10 mg of Celexa about four years ago while son going through chemo, radiation and transplant.  I want to come off it now - my therapist suggested reduce to 5 mg but the pill is too tiny to split so she said just stop taking it - I am nervous about doing this 'cold turkey'.

What do you think?

You are right to be cautious.  A safe way to go is try to cut it in half anyway, but if not, then take the ten mg every other day for a week, then every third day the following week, and if you feeling good, then stop it.
