Can antidepressants help drug withdrawl?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
They can: While not well studied for this purpose, antidepressant medications can help improve mood and frustration tolerance, making drug withdrawal less unpleasant. A number of antidepressants are also antianxiety medications and can help improve those symptoms that can happen during withdrawal.
