SSRI antidepressant side effects and withdrawal

Paul Looney, MD

Stopping or discontinuing an SSRI can be difficult because of the withdrawal symptoms, including things like irritability, anxiety, "brain zaps," flu-like symptoms, and return of depression. If side effects are an issue, it may be possible to adjust the dose or add another agent before stopping. Talk to your doctor, but this video explores a few options.

Fear to Freedom

Paul Looney, MD • Genesis 22:2

Fear can grip any of us, and anxiety can wreck us. God wishes for us to face rather than avoid our fears. Trusting Him allows us to walk through our dark valleys and find Him in fresh ways.
