Withdrawal symptoms following long-term SSRI use appear far more pervasive and serious than previously realised. Now medical bodies are rethinking how and when to stop taking them
it’s not just tapering. it’s that tapering for some ppl can take much longer, years instead of weeks, and may need a switch to liquid SSRI to do so effectively. it also talks about studies on long term SSRI use or use in older adults that have found effects on cognition.
My highly subjective experience was cold turkey and micro dose shrooms for a week lol. Eventually ended back up on it because genetic depression doesn’t actually go away, but I feel better knowing I have an exit strategy.
TL;DR - it’s just tapering. Nothing revolutionary. Engagement bait title.
I always appreciate the first person to read it and let me know if it’s worth reading or not.

You’re describing tapering lmao. Taper over X vs Y timelines or in one form or another is still tapering. Trying engaging your brain before you type.
I tried tapering it for 6 months. It was so bad I got back on.

I think I’ll try that when I try to quit again, thanks
