Yes, unfortunately. More and more doctors are admitting that these drugs do infact poop out.
Basically from a statiscal standpoint, we (as a nation) are consuming much more of them at higher doses. I suppose we could be getting more depressed :)
The longer we have been exposed to them, the more we see their effects fade.There are many many possable explainations as to why the antidepressant properties of a drug seem to stop, but in the end, nobody has been able to offer a conclusive explaination.
Personally, I don't think I ever recovered fully from that first time celexa pooped. I basically woke up to the realization that my life was just as intollerable as it once was.
Don't even think about stopping the drug at this point though.
