Around 15% of people stopping antidepressants experience withdrawal symptoms, with 3% facing severe symptoms like dizziness, headache, nausea, insomnia, and irritability.

Antidepressants can be lifesaving but also have unacknowledged withdrawal challenges, alarming side effects, and long-term dependency issues.

Prolonged withdrawal from antidepressants can cause severe and lasting symptoms, prompting calls for better medical guidance during discontinuation.

Patients are seeking online support groups when discontinuing antidepressants due to a lack of guidance and support from clinicians.
