[QUOTE="Sara PA, post: 11228, member: 1498"] You know, it really hard to talk about this stuff. We use a lot of the same terms to describe our kids but sometimes it turns out that we don't mean the same thing. Stabilize means mood stable to me. All moods, not just depression. I can't get a grasp of what you mean by stable. Hyper can mean mania or it can mean just an excitably full of life kid. However, withdrawing an antidepressant can in and of itself cause mood swings unrelated to the reason the antidepressant was prescribed. This is known because people who have been given antidepressants for reasons unrelated to depression or mood disorders (there are many, many reasons people are precribed antidepressants), they have the same issues during withdrawal as people taking the drug for depression and mood disorders. Antidepressants should always be discontinued very slowly unless there is a reason why that can't be done. Even gradually reducing the dose, acute withdrawal can last about two weeks after taking the last pill; chronic withdrawal can last months. [/QUOTE]
