Examples of psychotropic medications that require slow, careful tapering are: benzodiazepines: antipsychotics: phenothiazines, such as fluphenazine or perphenazine thioxanthenes, such as thiothixene antidepressants: selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs), such as escitalopram (Lexapro) or fluoxetine (Prozac) monoamine oxidase inhibitors (MAOIs), such as phenelzine (Nardil) or selegiline (Emsam) serotonin-norepinephrine reuptake inhibitors (SNRIs), like duloxetine (Cymbalta) or venlafaxine (Effexor) Clinical guidelines stress that drugs prescribed for mental health conditions may require tapering
