A recent article published in the Health Expectations journal reveals that discontinuing the use of selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRI withdrawal) has an impact on the emotional, cognitive, and social aspects of the lives of users, in addition to causing physical withdrawal symptoms. The study, led by Raqeeb Mahmood from the University of Bath, also suggests that withdrawing from SSRIs has positive effects on health.
The authors write:
“The lived experience of withdrawal significantly impacts individuals’ well‐being. Participants emphasized that withdrawal is not just about physical side effects but also affects their emotional, cognitive, and social functioning.”
