Tardive Dysphoria - Does it scare you too?

Posted by Prefect on January 2, 2013, at 22:13:58

So what is our final word on this issue?

http://www.psychologytoday.com/blog/mad-in-america/201106/now-antidepressant-induced-chronic-depression-has-name-tardive-dysphoria

I've dosed up my Luvox from 50 mg/d to 100 mg/d to tackle an agoraphobia/PD relapse, and I'm almost in a sick way a little disappointed that it seems to be helping me a little. I was going to use this relapse as an excuse to get off Luvox all together if it didn't help. The research I've been doing leads me to believe more and more that medication is counter productive in the treatment of my condition as it interferes with fear exctinction learning process of the hypocampus, so once I recover on the medical baseline I'm on now, if I discontinue medication relapse will be imminent. But oh well, I feel better now and I'm not inclined to mess with my gains as I have too much to lose.

This means now I've been on this SSRI for 16 years! I keep reading about theories about long term SSRI use leading to major depressive disorder and I'm not sure how proven this theory is now and how well researched a phenomenon it is.

But the idea scares me. I would like to hear views of the people on this board on this issue, and how much they buy into this theory, and what their own experiences have been.
