Hi! 21 years old, woman I ask for opinions from people who have experience or the necessary knowledge. I've been taking antidepressants for a year, i've been treating anxiety. In the first 10 months there was no special result, but soon my psychiatrist changed medication and I felt significantly better. I wonder, with this positive result, how long I should still take them. I would not stop them without consulting the doctor, I just hope you share experiences of how you have managed. Thanks in advance!

Mandatory consultation with a psychiatrist! They never stop at once.

You'd better ask the GP or psychiatrist.
Everyone is individual.

They stop always gradually. Different pills cause different dependence. Sometimes weak substitutes are written to avoid abscess symptoms.
In short - a doctor should say when and how

Number four - Are you from experience saying that? Or are you a doctor? I only asked competent people to comment. Yes, they can stop. There are many examples. In order to "go down this path", I have informed enough about the subject.
Thank you to the responders.

4, don't write nonsense, or maybe you're judging by yourself?

You've been drinking a whole year, you've been in deep. You may be fine, but if you stop them quickly, you'il be back in a starting position or worse.

Yes, number four, don't write nonsense. I think you're talking about yourself, but you're not all of you.
Author and I have been drinking for 4 months an antidepressant and it has an effect. Most people do not know what they imagine when they hear antidepressants, who knows what effect strong, etc. , in fact these medications slightly and smoothly correct the problem. My problem was dizziness and atactical gait, which Thank God disappeared, the drugs helped. At first I did not understand the connection between the problem and why exactly an antidepressant, but I am not a doctor.
For stopping, the doctor told me for two months to start every other day drinking them, then the next month every three days.
But, then, you have to go and ask him in your case how they should stop.
And self-help books, so to speak, and more self-awareness really help, and in time you can not recognize yourself, so yours is temporary and will change. Good luck :)

I'm 21 myself, and until recently I was drinking antidepressants for depression. They didn't help me because it's poison, and I stopped them. It didn't get any better, but I got worse, and I regretted stopping them for a long time. But then I changed my mind, tried to help myself, and now I'm better. Don't drink those drugs, you'il fill up and you'il ruin your health. You have to help yourself, and you have to help yourself. Anxiety with bites is not treated, but with a change of thought and with a decrease in stress and lifestyle. Success! I wish you all the best!

Like I said, I've been drinking them for a year and haven't gained a gram, but I've recovered my previous weight because I didn't have any appetite from my condition. Of course, everything is individual. And I think it's more health-destroying than drugs, because you're cleaning up them over time. Constant mental harassment leads to more severe illnesses. And as for the fact that anxiety was not treated with antidepressants, I did not consider it necessary to say the diagnosis I had been given, namely obsessive-compulsive disorder, social phobia, and panic attacks.
I agree with the fact that a change of thinking is required, after all, drugs are 50% of the treatment itself.
Good luck to you all!

I'm number nine again. To say that antidepressants do not gain weight.
I even lost weight because I have to lose weight. But, there are many types of antidepressants, we can not put them under one denominator.
