Does the abrupt discontinuation of an antidepressant result in the fact that when you start taking it again, it is as if we were going back to the beginning of pharmacotherapy? That is, the positive effect of the drug from before discontinuation will not return immediately, but again after some time?

Abrupt discontinuation of drugs for depression is not advisable - after consultation with the doctor, if there is actually a need to stop therapy, then usually you "go down" from the dose gradually. In general, these drugs are used for a long time, also after improvement. A longer break in taking antidepressants will cause the positive effect of the drug most likely not to return immediately, but again you will have to wait for the response of the nervous system (about 2 weeks or more). Sometimes the reaction to a change of treatment or the resumption of treatment is individual, I encourage you to review the following threads: https://www.gdziepolek.pl/opinie-i-pytania/21081/moklar-co-moze-oznaczac-szybka-utrata-dzialania-lekow-przeciwdepresyjnych https://www.gdziepolek.pl/opinie-i-pytania/20070/parogen-czy-jest-mozliwe-ze-po-10-latach-przyjmowania-leku-parogen-uodpornilam If you have indications for the use of antidepressants and something worries you about therapy or action Medications, it is worth consulting a psychiatrist.
