NardilTime Posted March 27, 2022 Share Posted March 27, 2022 “My guess is that, 20 years from now, people will look back at prescribing antidepressants the way we now look at things like bloodletting,” Kirsch told me. “If they are to be used at all, it should be as a last resort when nothing else is working.” After what twenty years on these drugs has done to me, particularly the torture of the past ten years where the side effects became unbearable, I have no doubt he is right. 1 2000 - 2020 - Effexor 250 mg November 2020 began Nardil 60 mg reduced Nardil from January 2021 to August 2021 to 0 mg.
