One thing that is glossed over is that many of the anti-depressants,
SSRI types, have serious withdrawal. Paxil, the big one for a while, was
a once a day pill that no one noticed had a half life of about 2.5 hours
and was out of the blood in something over 12. Withdrawal on a daily
basis mixed with what ever already caused the depression/anxiety/what ever.
