Antidepressants - Treatment for Habitual Users

Treatment for Habitual Users

Antidepressants are not abused in the traditional sense. This means that they are not taken by users to get high. If antidepressant drug therapy is discontinued, it should be done under a doctor's care using the "stepdown method" in order to reduce the risk of side effects. This method involves gradually lowering the dose of the drug until the patient is weaned off it entirely.
