Some people report moderate or severe 'withdrawal effects' when trying to stop taking SSRI type antidepressants.
Apparently not everyone, since I was expecting that, but didn't experience it.
Also, as I'm implying, there are other drugs which are neither SSRIs nor ketamine, so I don't think there is such a thing as "antidepressants in general".
In any case, problems with withdrawal aren't the same thing as tolerance. Just because your body adjusts to it doesn't mean you are driven to an escalating dose. Again, this may differ for different people, but I never had any urge to take more of an SSRI.
I'm personally afraid of Ketamine, because it's been around for so long that suddenly deciding it has a huge new market seems opportunistic.
