Facts

  • Antidepressant withdrawal symptoms can last one to two weeks, and are rapidly extinguished with reinstitution of antidepressant medication which is one of the reasons individuals become dependent to these drugs.
  • The fact that individuals who take hypnotics such as barbiturates and benzodiazepines will have withdrawal symptoms when they cease using these substances is very well known.
  • Moderate use of alcohol (2-3 drinks) can cause loss of motor coordination for up to 12 to 18 hours following alcohol consumption.
  • Failure to recognize antidepressant withdrawal may result in medical and psychiatric misdiagnosis, potentially causing individuals to undergo unnecessary diagnostic investigations or potentially risky medical interventions.
