> I've never taken SSRIs but one thing you can say about them is that people get off them in a way that they do not usually get off methadone.
Just FYI, this is a post from someone in another forum:
"SRIs are some of the most physically addictive drugs in existence. To suddenly stop taking them is to feel so very much worse than you were feeling before you ever considered taking meds. There's a term, "brain shivers." You'll know it if you ever experience it. Mouse and I have kicked opiates and we have kicked SSRIs cold turkey. We'll take the opiate kick."
