I didn't realize that by posting to this thread I was going to be cast into one of two camps. I'm not in either camp--I am just in favor of people getting as much information as they can. Meds help some people, but not others, and some people somewhat, etc. I tend not to see the world as either black or white so can read many views and understand that there is truth in them all. I hope my short post on how the brain needs time to biochemically adjust when ADs are stopped was informative and useful. It was not intended to be judgmental, just informational.

I also think this is a very very sensitive topic, as some people who truly do need meds so as to not be a danger to others or themselves may read this and misinterpret it as proof or a reason to quit their meds.

Yet I still don't favor withholding information just because some people might misinterpret it. I think it is better to just aim to be as clear as possible to minimize potential misunderstanding.
