Antidepressant withdrawal symptoms may not be very common than we think

Antidepressant withdrawal symptoms can be less common than we think, but the questions left with people who quit people to cease to take medications after higher times.

We know that people who carry antidepressants for conditions such as depression, worrying and phobias can warn people about this possibility, never the doctors of this possibility, it does not always happen.

To know more, Samere Jaahar By imperial College London and his colleagues checked 49 randomized controlled attempts using antidepressant. They first reviewed a subset of studies that track the number of withdrawal symptoms that have experienced a week after stopping antidepressants, which inhibits the Polddorpressants or continues to take antidepressants. Researchers know that those who have stopped taking medications experienced an additional symptom compared to other two groups.

In another analysis, the team looks at another subset of studies that track the kinds of withdrawal symptoms experienced by antidepressants or placebo. Dizziness found the most common symptom, followed by nausea, nervous or annoyance, and vertigo.

Specifically, 7.5 percent of the antidepressant group people have experienced dizziness, while this number 1.8 percent of the placebo group. Name, nervous or annoyance, and vertigo each reported at least 5 percent of the antidepressant groups, and less than 2 percent of placebo group.

These numbers are lower than two first estimated withdrawal symptoms. A 2019 Review was found More than half to people experienced symptoms, but includes data from online surveys, so people with worse symptoms more follows, as Michael Browning at university Oxford.

Another estimate, Published last yearFound 31 percent of people report with withdrawal symptoms, compared to 17 percent of platebo groups. But they did not give the details of the kinds of symptoms experienced, as Jaahar.

Susannah Murphy At the University of Oxford says that the new review recounts some of the issues. “It’s important for the field: it collects and collects data from many, many strong studies involving many participants than before,” he said.

but John reads At the University of East London focuses most of the study studies include participants in antidepressants in eight to 12 weeks, while they are always taken by people. “There is a strong relationship between how long you have to have these drugs and if you do not end with withdrawal, so short term (use) studies,” he said.

Thus, you need more studies involving long use to get a real response, as Mark Horowitz at the University College London. “It’s like crashing a wall on a wall for 5 kilometers an hour, and it says it’s safe, but ignore roads in 60 miles an hour.”
