“Question and Answer on Depression Medications’ Cessation and Neurofeedback
Q: My antidepressant medication really works for me. Why should I stop?
A: You should stop for the same reasons alcoholics should stop burying their feelings in booze. Long-term drug effects are problematical; you will likely need more to get the same relief; and it’s nice for your family to talk to you instead of to your drug. When needed, antidepressant medications can provide a window of opportunity for a person to address the conditions causing the depression. These conditions may be social (feeling stuck in a dead-end situation) or neurological ( a brain-wave predisposition). Once the causes of the depression are resolved or remedied, the medications are slowly eliminated.”
