Hello lybrate-user, do not stop taking sensival without talking to a psychiatrist. If you suddenly stop taking it, you may experience withdrawal symptoms such as headache, nausea and weakness. Your doctor will probably want to decrease your dose gradually while monitoring your symptoms. Kindly let me know if you have any further queries. Looking forward to provide you with detailed evaluation and better management. With help of Lybrate you can book an appointment with us on phone, text or in-person.
