“[T]here is some evidence, that really pretty consistent evidence, that the longer you’re on antidepressant medications… the harder it is to get off,” according to author and journalist Robert Whitaker as he noted in a 2010 interview that he did with Joseph Mercola, DO.

“In other words, your vulnerability to relapse when you come off it increases.”
