These drugs are all serious business. For antidepressants, discontinuation syndrome is a possibility. NRIs, SSRIs and SNRIs probably in that order of risk.
Since no one can tell me absolutely what will work and what the long term side effects may be I have to be very careful in judging the risk versus benefit ratio.
If it was me, I would always treat the bare minimum required to get back on track. enough to get into and endure therapy. Perhaps EMDR, CBT or standard therapy.
Im avoiding SSRIs and SNRIs until absolutely necessary. The effects on my physical health have not been worth the mental results.
