I guess this is about SSRIs / SNRIs and not so much about tricyclics?

Personally I don't know anyone who ever came off SSRIs. Though to be fair, some of the people just didn't function at all without them before

Hey, whatever works best, or works least badly...

Out of all people I know who are on SSRIs / SNRIs not a single one said they want to get off them - yeah there are downsides (except seemingly for the case of my mother, but she uses them off-label and can probably live with loss of libido), but the alternative is just worse.

I have no more info, than could be found in the article. So I cannot answer that, sorry.

Well that’s fuckin great. Not that ever thought I would be trying to stop taking them. I’m really eager to try Exxua though.
