Underdiscussed: the horror of missing a couple doses of antidepressants.

Being on such meds may work, keeping the patient stable. Nobody mentions that when a couple doses are missed, the result can be a week of anger & angst as resumed medication balances back out again - living hell not just for the patient, but for those around.

Weaning off such meds is difficult, reducing doses by literally counting out & down individual granules of medicine daily.

Easy to get on. Nightmare to get off.
