Possibly. What I took was an antidepressant but I didn’t take it for depression. I was on a medication that caused me a sort of medically-induced dementia and I lost the ability to live alone, cook, walk on the street without a helper, etc. The antidepressant was given as a way to counteract those symptoms, and it worked for it. When I eventually got off that medication, the antidepressant started causing me all sorts of problems and so I discontinued it. It was terrible.
Three months for me. I’ll never go near one again.
do you think you would have considered not going on them if you were warned about the “comedown”?
