I have read on here recently that going back onto an SSRI after a long break can achieve the same antidepressant effect the patient got when he/she first went on the drug.
Not sure how this works or why - perhaps it has something to do with the brain becoming almost 'tolerant' to the drug, and so going back onto it after a break can 'reset' things (if you know what I mean)? Some of the other posters on here are far more knowledgeable about all this than me so maybe they could advise..?
