A member asked:
What is the best ssri anti-depressant drug that has lowest withdrawal symptoms?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No single best: There is no single best anti-depressant. Fluoxetine lacks a withdrawal syndrome due to the extended half-life of its active metabolite. However, fluoxetine has marked drug interactions and should be carefully cross-checked with other meds.
