Summary: Antidepressants, particularly SSRIs and SNRIs, are among the most prescribed medications in the world. But what happens when you try to stop? In this episode, we explore the science behind these medications, the hidden dangers they pose, and why withdrawal can be so challenging. We discuss emotional numbness, cognitive decline, withdrawal symptoms, and why tapering slowly is essential for a safer transition.
