I know of many people that have sucessfuly used
antidepressant medication for 5 or so years
and then have discontinued without any problems.
As a general rule if you've used AD medication
for 5 years it may take another 5 to discontinue.I am a sucessful case. I have been using AD medication for over two years. I have discontinued, and am still on this site to
offer support. Has it dammaged my brain ?
Well if it has I shure don't know anything about
it. I've been on Sinequan, Effexor, Remeron, Celexa, Lorazepam, Kava, and St. John's wort.If you feel that it has dammaged your brain
I honestly believe that you probably havn't
fully recovered from your depression.I started taking Omega 3 over a year ago, and
a funny shift started taking place. I started
to feel better at the end of my AD's halflife
(right before I took another dose) I mean
really calm, and happy. I started to slowly taper
and the symptoms havn't returned. Withdrawl was
minimial.Will I go back on them if I need them. Yes.
Am I a better person now than before the whole ordeal- I do believe so.
