TL;DR - it’s just tapering. Nothing revolutionary. Engagement bait title.

    it's not just tapering. it's that tapering for some ppl can take much longer, years instead of weeks, and may need a switch to liquid SSRI to do so effectively. it also talks about studies on long term SSRI use or use in older adults that have found effects on cognition.

    I tried tapering it for 6 months. It was so bad I got back on.
