You say that with such authority, but in my personal experience they can absolutely cause dependency. I've had long-lasting withdrawal effects from certain SSRIs that were both physically and mentally painful.
- DanBC 9y agoIt's not just me saying it. It's anyone who works in dependency services. Discontinuation effects exist, are unpleasant, require correct tapering, but are not dependency.
- jamiewilson 9y agoI understand the word "dependency" to be synonymous with what you're calling discontinuation effects. So, I think I agree with you now. Thanks for the following up with your clarification.
