Although these withdrawal symptoms are uncomfortable, they are not dangerous. They simply reflect your body’s readjustment after losing the neurochemical effects of the antidepressant; experiencing these types of symptoms does not mean that you have become “hooked” on the medication.

then y call it withdrawl? i never rlly understood this tbh

because withdrawal means coming off something you were addicted to

antideps aren't addictive

yes but they call 'discontinuation syndrome' withdrawl???

idgi. your body literally suffers without it and the only way to stop the symptoms is to get on another anti or to just suffer through it. u get many of the same discontinuing stuff too like fever and chills and headache and aches and stuff

they call it that because it's shorter and people already know what it implies

it still doesn't mean you were addicted to ADs. ADs aren't like heroin or coke where you're constantly chasing a high with more and more of the drug. u get to a point and u can stabilize ur dose.

ok, but what about dependency?

dependency ≠ addiction
