As you can see, when I called you clueless, I wasn’t trying to be insulting. It was just a necessary observation. ---

> [@uglybeech](#): > > As you can see, when I called you clueless, I wasn’t trying to be insulting. It was just a necessary observation. Out of curiosity, could you tell us if you’ve used this drug? Or if you’ve prescribed this drug? Any real life experience with it? I take it. I’m just wondering if you can tell me how I’m clueless about it. ---

[According to this, you can see withdrawal symptoms with an SSRI in as little as eight hours.](http://www.antidepressantsfacts.com/addiction-withdrawal.htm) [This would tend to confirm that, but without such an exact time frame](http://www.psycom.net/depression.central.withdrawal.html) [This also says the same sorta thing](http://www.healthyplace.com/communities/depression/treatment/antidepressants/article_withdrawl.asp) ---

And this has gotten so far away from what I wanted **Tuckerfan** to answer, it’s hardly worth keeping it going. But, what the hell, I know how you guys are. I take the same drug Tuck does. I’ve taken many drugs that were supposed to do the same thing. I never knew I was in trouble if I missed a dose. Uhhhmmm, before you high-horse people get going, do some basic med research before trying to lecture me ---

> [@duffer](#): > > Uhhhmmm, before you high-horse people get going, do some basic med research before trying to lecture me **duffer** , man, please just let it drop. You haven’t had withdrawal symptoms in the short term, **Tuckerfan** has. These meds affect people in different ways. People have been pulling up medical references showing that _some people_ do have symptoms that fast. His experience doesn’t invalidate yours, and vice versa. For the record, I don’t recall what my withdrawal experiences, if any, were when I discontinued Prozac - it’s been too many years. Last year, I was on nortriptyline (typically used as an antidepressant) for migraine prevention, and missing a dose produced _nausea_, of all things, within a day. My neurologist shrugged and chalked it up to the wild and weird biochemistry of humans. ---

Thread’s done. Looks like a bad idea from before the initiation. If a mod can close, please do, Otherwise, leave it open to show others what not to do. My point wasn’t even touched on I guess [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/tucker-we-love-you-but/299741.md?page=1)
