The FDA warning is in fact interesting because really it touches on what we've all dealt with for so long, the changes in doses from ill- equipped doctors, the misinformation (my personal favorite...) "if you're having these rebound effects after taking an antidepressant- you should be on them indefintely!"... the lack of understanding. The mdeical community needs a good slap in the face for this ordeal. Hopefully a drug company will come up with a medication thats effective in getting a person OFF an antidepressant. Wouldn't it be great if you could take an antidepressant for a year if necessary, then move to med that regulates your serotogenic systems while you go off the antidepressant... a "taper med" so to speak? Just think, they could even use it for drug and alcohol withdrawals too! Ok, enough of my creative side.
