I don't think that's necessarily so. It may take several weeks for your SSRI to bring about certain up- or downregulations, but once they've occurred, if you abruptly discontinue the SSRI and thereby remove its acute effects, you're going to _unmask_ the effects of the up- or downregulations, and that unmasking will start quickly. This is especially likely for SSRIs with short half-lives such as Paxil. --David --- You are currently subscribed to tips as: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To unsubscribe send a blank email to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
