I recently was forced off of SSRIs after nearly ten years because I lost my psychiatrist and couldn't get a new one because the waitlists were ridiculous.
After 10 years on them, the next 6 months were absolute hell (i legit thought at one point I might go full Joaquin Phoenix in Joker) but I made it through, no small part thanks to my wonderful amazing wife.
Rebound depression have been an issue - though in general I feel like I am much better off without the antidepressants now than with them - and I've also noticed that pulling an all nighter would actually fix the rebounds for a bit. A small dose of melatonin before bed worked wonders for me now. I sleep better and the rebounds are extremely rare.
