The on/off taper is the dumbest idea ever, but some psychiatrists don’t know this. It basically puts you on a constant serotonin rollercoaster, thus the awful brain zaps and other side effects. Lowering the dose one-sixth at a time every four weeks is the right approach. It gives your neurons time to get accustomed to the lowered serotonin levels by slowly increasing the number of available receptors.
