If your antidepressants are based on benzodiazepines, you should seriously consider to switch them off. While benzodiazepines are highly effective in the short term, adverse effects associated with long-term use, including impaired cognitive abilities, memory problems, mood swings, and overdoses when combined with other drugs, may make the risk-benefit ratio unfavourable. In addition, benzodiazepines have reinforcing properties in some individuals and thus are considered to be addictive drugs, especially in individuals that have a "drug-seeking" behavior; further, a physical dependence can develop after a few weeks or months of use. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Effects_of_long-term_benzodiazepine_use https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Effects_of_long-term_benzodiaz...
