if one has severe withdrawal symptoms and there's a life threatening risk it doesn't matter what causes those strong feelings -one needs something to get out of it or through it. i know it can be very dangerous and one needs to be careful, have contact with a doctor, maybe other medicins for anxiety etc for a while.
i guess this guy wants to say that sometimes one mistakes withdrawal symptoms for the depression comming back. i haven't read enough.to know if he thinks that medication is only bad, i just found that part with the withdrawal coming after a few days whilst returning depression taking 1-2 months interesting.

we need to know that there is a withdrawal and be prepared for it.my doctor didn't mention a thing about withdrawal symptoms when we discussed me getting of meds... I've had them for 1.5 years and want to get off them now as i feel numb tired stupid asexual with them. i'm quite aware that for me, my very negative feelings don't mean i want to die or hurt myself, they're just very strong anxiety, and like all feelings they don't last. But i would had timed it differently if i knew. Have weened off them for 6 months, and my partner's away for a week from yesterday and that doesn't feel very good since i have no close friends where i live and need to renew my passport before i can go see my family. well i'm feeling better today and will try tp keep it that way. ok enough talking from me!

be careful everyone and take care
