Thank you for your question and welcome to AnxietyConnection.com.
I am not a medical professional and would not be able to give you medical advice. I can tell you that if you don't agree with your doctor's advice, you should seek out a second opinion. Many doctors do recommend weaning off antidepressants as you can have withdrawal symptoms if you stop these medications suddenly.
