If your antidepressant is working fine, no need to taper.
However, if you're wanting to taper, per Harvard health:
https://www.health.harvard.edu/diseases ... depressant
"two to six weeks or longer between dose reductions"
"If you experience discontinuation symptoms after a particular dose reduction, you may want to add back half the dose — or all of it — and continue from there with smaller dose reductions. There are no hard and fast rules for getting off antidepressants, other than that the approach should be individualized!"

And this seems like good, middle-of-the-road advice to me.
