For how long ssris can be used?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
SSRIs: can be helpful and please do what your doctor says. Having said that, medications are generally best used when they treat a condition and then they are stopped. Consider seeing a therapist who can work w/you using cognitive therapy. Look to diet and exercise choices to help. Deal w/current problems then try to live peacefully w/the results. Peace and good health.
