Adam Schmidt+FollowAntidepressant Withdrawal: Not What You Think?Big news: the largest review yet says most people who stop antidepressants don’t get hit with severe withdrawal—think more dizziness or nausea than drama. But some experts are side-eyeing the results, saying the studies didn’t look at long-term users. Bottom line: withdrawal is usually mild, but always talk to your doc before quitting. Everyone’s experience is different, and it’s not a DIY situation! #Health #MentalHealth #Antidepressants6442Share
Brandon Burke+FollowAntidepressant Withdrawal: Harder Than We ThoughtJust found out that the longer you’re on antidepressants, the tougher it can be to stop. Nearly 96% of people who took them for over 2 years had withdrawal symptoms—think brain zaps, anxiety, and fatigue—and a lot of them couldn’t quit even after trying. Turns out, coming off these meds is way harder than most doctors realize, especially if you’ve been on them for years. If you or someone you know is thinking about stopping, it’s definitely worth talking to a pro about tapering slowly! #Health #MentalHealth #Antidepressants4843Share

herreradennis+FollowAntidepressants: Lifesaver or Overhyped?Antidepressants like Prozac changed lives, but now more people are questioning if they’re being overprescribed. Julie’s story is wild—she started Prozac for depression, but years later, the side effects felt worse than the original problem. Turns out, tons of people are struggling to get off these meds, and some say doctors just keep refilling without checking in. With therapy on the rise (finally!), maybe it’s time we rethink how we treat mental health. Anyone else feeling skeptical? #MentalHealth #Antidepressants #Wellness #Health00Share
herreradennis+FollowSSRIs: Miracle Meds or Overhyped Mystery?Antidepressants like SSRIs have been hailed as lifesavers, but a new reanalysis just halved their supposed success rate from a famous study. Turns out, we still don’t totally know how these meds work—or even if they’re much better than a placebo for everyone. Add in side effects, withdrawal drama, and a ton of debate about overprescribing, and it’s clear: the antidepressant story is way messier than we thought. Would you still trust your doc’s prescription? #MentalHealth #SSRIs #Antidepressants #Health00Share
Harold Sosa+FollowAntidepressant Withdrawal Is Way More Common Than You ThinkNearly half of people who stop taking antidepressants get hit with withdrawal symptoms—think dizziness, brain zaps, anxiety, and more. Most symptoms pop up within two weeks, but for some, they can last months (or even years!). The study says long-term users and those who quit cold turkey are at higher risk. Tapering helps, but not as much as you’d hope. If you’re thinking about stopping, definitely talk to your doc first! #MentalHealth #Antidepressants #Withdrawal #Health2512Share

A new study just found that ALS patients taking antidepressants that suppress REM sleep actually lived longer—like, a real survival boost over two years! Researchers think it’s because these meds help with breathing issues during sleep, which is a huge deal for ALS. They’re calling for more trials, but this could totally change how we treat ALS and maybe even other neuro diseases.
