For something prescribed to get someone through a temporary crisis, "how and when do we get you back off this safely?" should probably be discussed at the beginning, not years later when the patient decides to stop.

- probably_wrong 1mo agoIf a fireman is trying to stop a house fire and suddenly they catch fire themselves, no one would argue that they need to focus on the house fire first. Antidepressants are the same: they won't stop the bigger fire by themselves, but by preventing you from catching fire right now they give you the tools to deal with the larger problem more effectively that if you tried to do it while flailing around and screaming.

- sixeyes 1mo agofor my snri i lessened the dose by 25% and that alone cost me a week of work, i was so fucked over. when i quit this i will for sure do the thing where you open the capsules and remove a little of the contents, gradually removing more each day. i read online about people doing this and thought they were nutjobs. well, now i know.
