Have you been considering going off your anti-depressant medication? I help my clients with this once they are ready to go it alone and have the cooperation of their prescribing practitioner. It is done slowly by taking less and less medication over weeks or months so that any symptoms that could arise can be well tolerated and overcome.
It may be time to slowly but surely stop depending on anti-depressant medication if it’s at all possible for you. Read on:
“Antidepressant-Induced Liver Injury Underestimated
All antidepressant drugs may potentially cause liver injury, even at recommended doses, and some groups are more vulnerable than others, French researchers report.
“Antidepressant liver toxicity has been underestimated in the scientific literature,” say Gabriel Perlemuter, MD, PhD, from AP-HP Hôpital Bicêtre, Kremlin-Bicêtre, France, and colleagues.
In some cases, antidepressant-induced liver injury can be irreversible. Given that there currently is no strategy available to prevent antidepressant-induced liver injury, “early detection and prompt drug discontinuation remain critical,” they say.
Their research was published online December 20 in the American Journal of Psychiatry.”
