Suggest Ways To Wean Off Viibryd

I am currently taking Viibryd 20 mg/day and have been for a year and a half. I am in the transition of changing Psychiatrists and can not get in to the new one until Jan. 15th. I have any 10 pills left and would ideally like to get off the medication all together and am asking about weaning myself off during my wait to get in to the new Dr. My prescription would need a Dr s approval to fill and I do not want to do that. Any thoughts?

HI
Well come to HCM
I really appreciate your concern, ideally it is better to continue the drug till it is being changed by the new psychiatrist and if you can tolerate the off drug condition then it is best option you have and it has to be tried first hope this information helps.
