poppycock. Its well known that SSRIs and other antidepressants can loose their effectiveness (poop out) and require ever increasing doses to regain the initial therapeutic effect. Also, I know of people who have been on therapeutic doses of opiates or benzodiazapines for years without any dosage adjustment needed. Some people grow tolerant to stimulants, others can use the same dose consistently for years.

The point is that the lines can easily blur.
