I think if you come off any kind of brain med cold turkey, you're gonna have a very bad time. I still find articles like the above absolutely horrible, and wish people would stop writing them. Meds saved my life. They save the life of millions of people every year - and they make depression hands-down easier to manage and to live with. That doctors over-proscribe is another problem. Muck-raking and fear-mongering about what are already scary drugs to very scared depressed people has real costs - people probably die because of articles like the above. Many, many people suffer for years without medication because they're afraid to start them.
