Well, only deadly by way of suicide and that's not me. I also have a "sitter" to make sure I am ok, and a doctor a phone call away.

I have only ever found cold turkey to be the way to stop anti depressants. If I weaned them every time it'd take months to try a handful, and years to find a solution..

I am not meaning to disagree, I wholeheartedly agree with your advice, I've just been through this so many times I know what is and isn't ok with my mind. My Psychiatrist has the same trust and faith in me.

For anyone just getting started with anti-depressants then yes you are right. Never, ever cold turkey except on doctor's advice (and I thought I had highlighted all the dangerous stuff in my post too).
