A member asked:
Is it actually true that antidepressants will work again after stopping them cold turkey for a few days?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
They could: They could work again, but why stop them cold turkey? This is not really a safe thing to do with yourself. Please work with your doctor on any medication changes. "cold turkey" withdrawal from certain antidepressants can be very uncomfortable.
