Has anyone else had to go inpatient to do a med washout and change meds for depression? My pdoc is recommending an inpatient stay at a special hospital program to look at my meds and maybe change them. He said that since we have experts right in our backyard we might as well use them. I am just worried about how long I would be stuck in there. I am on Emsam and it says you need to be off if 2 weeks before you can start some meds. I don't want to be in the hospital that long.

It's not really the same, but I had to go into a detox ward in a hospital to get off Xanax, but it was only 3 days.

I'm sorry I don't have experience with going inpatient to change meds. But I have been IP many times now....the longest stay was 6 weeks. And while 2 weeks may seem like a long time, in the grand scheme of things it is nothing really. If it is what you need to get back on track then I say go for it
