Uhh, yeah, because stopping a medication intended to alleviate depression tends to... you know, bring back someone's depressive symptoms.
Classic - someone who's never taken SSRIs, thinking SSRIs are a magic mood lifter, akin to taking a hit of heroin. SSRIs don't work like that. Their effects are subtle, and all they do is enable me emotional stability. I was briefly off SSRIs for a few months last year (link to my post about reacquiring my psych meds.) This guy has no idea what he's about to stir up. SSRIs are the only thing keeping me from throwing everything in my life away and accepting that if I'm going to die miserably, I might as well do something crazy to take down the system with me.
