This.
I keep seeing posts on this forum about people just letting their anti-depressant prescriptions run out. That is SUCH a bad idea.
I feel like absolute shit if I skip my anti-depressant for A SINGLE DAY. You CANNOT just stop taking them.
From personal experience, I can say that it might be better to not get on the anti-depressant in the first place if you're NOT planning on keeping your prescription up to date or if you think you will just suddenly stop taking them due to financial or logistic reasons. The crash from sudden withdrawal is usually worse than the original condition.
You CANNOT get off anti-depressants without physician supervision and instruction.
You CANNOT get off anti-depressants cold turkey.
You're only setting yourself up for disaster.
Why do people do this to themselves? I just don't get it...
