Phillipa Munari began taking antidepressants in 2003, but after stopping a decade later, she experienced debilitating withdrawal symptoms like nerve pain and heightened anxiety. These symptoms impacted her daily life and work severely. Returning to the medication allowed some improvement, but after attempting to taper off again, anxiety intensified. Many users experience similar health issues without adequate warnings from their doctors about potential long-term effects following discontinuation of antidepressants. Medical professionals generally recognize only short-term withdrawal symptoms, missing the risk of prolonged issues that can develop.
