Although quitting antidepressants can cause withdrawal symptoms, they are generally less severe than those of heroin.

    This is a stupid take.

    Medication for managing chronic conditions should not be stopped unless alternative management is available.

    Is insulin “hard to quit”?

    What a trash human.

      Nothing is more addicting than oxygen, people get their first hit before theyre born, and most will die within weeks of stopping use!
