NUZAK
I have been using anti-depressants for a very long time - in fact I was of the first users of Prozak when it came out. Lately I have cut down drastically on Nuzak - 1 tablet a week, and so far I feel just fine.
I heard that "what you don't use you lose", in this case the brain's capacity to manufacture endorphins after using anti-depressants for so long. Therefore you have to take them for ever. Is this true? Is there substantial evidence to support this?
