[QUOTE="Sara PA, post: 42242, member: 1498"] medication washes should be done for longer periods than just getting the person off the medications. I believe they should last for months. First you need to get the medication out of the system. Then the body needs time to change to whatever state the brain (in this case) is going be base. These drugs cause physical changes in the brain (increased receptors, for instance) and those changes are often reversed when the drug is stopped. That can last months and it can cause reactions which can be misidentified as "disorders". Starting medications at that point may, in reality, be medicating withdrawal symptoms. What you are left with within a week or two of a medication wash is not likely to be related to what you are left with two months after a medication wash. [/QUOTE]
