Advice

I’ve been on 50mg for about a year and a half now due to depression after losing my dad. I eventually want to get off this medication. I just don’t know when and how I know I’m ready to get off of it. Also, I recently started having heart palpitations and now my doctor‘s doing all these tests, but I don’t know if it’s the medication or other things going on. I’m a little worried about getting off of it as well because of the withdrawals and side effects. With fall/winter coming soon I’m not sure this is a good time to get off of it anyways.
