> A few days ago, you posted a message about a theory of med poop-out. You said that one of your doctors once told you that stopping and re-starting an AD could cause it to poop-out in much the same way that stopping and re-starting an antibiotic would cause it to be less effective. In the case of antibiotics, the cause would be the creation of antibiotic-resistant strains of bacteria. Did your doctor give an explanation for his antidepressant poop-out theory? I had never heard of that as far as ADs are concerned. Do you have any references for publications where your doctor might have gotten that idea? If so, I'd be very interested to read about it. If you don't have any citations now, but if you do come across them at some later date, I'd like to see them.
