Facts
- Quitting an antidepressant suddenly may cause withdrawal symptoms such as irritability, anxiety, insomnia, headaches, dizziness, fatigue, nausea and a return of depression symptoms.
- Individuals who have taken an antidepressant drug for longer than 6 weeks are particularly at risk of withdrawal if they abruptly stop taking the drug.
- Side effects of Adderall use such as heart attack, stroke, coma and even sudden death are especially likely if users have a pre-existing known or unknown health condition such as a heart defect or other serious heart problem, or are mixing the drug with other substances such as illicit drugs or alcohol.
- Studies indicate that as much as half of the dopamine-producing cells in the brain can be damaged by prolonged exposure to relatively low levels of methamphetamine.
