It’s hard to tell. I thought the drug was great initially until decades later when long term side effects started to appear and then of course the withdrawal was and still is horrific. I am now housebound. I just want to make sure if people need to get off after long term use they need to go slow.

Rubbish. Review is based on short term use and withdrawal symptoms are misdiagnosed as relapse…

You have to go slow by using a hyperbolic taper esprit you have been on it a long time. youtu.be/XZlvDG6XkTc?...

Barb's Story - Antidepressant Withdrawal in Australia 2026 - Lived Experience YouTube video by Antidepressant Withdrawal Australia

A hyperbolic taper is best. youtu.be/XZlvDG6XkTc?...

Barb's Story - Antidepressant Withdrawal in Australia 2026 - Lived Experience YouTube video by Antidepressant Withdrawal Australia

Yep can because trying to get off too quickly as well. youtu.be/XZlvDG6XkTc?...

Yep you need to come off slowly (hyperbolic taper) especially if you have been on long term. youtu.be/XZlvDG6XkTc?...

Spot on and long term use antidepressant use can cause horrific withdrawals if you need to get off. Go slow and use a hyperbolic taper if you need to get off.

Becareful as they will numb your anxiety but the long term side effects have not been studied. Withdrawal can be horrific. If you need to get off after long term use go slow. youtu.be/XZlvDG6XkTc?...
