| "Discouraging data on the antidepressant." | ||||||||||||||||||
| Originally I was going to be unoriginal (no pun intended) and pick one of the topics from the sheet we were given: "What is this I hear about antidepressants making teens suicidal?" Unfortunately, two other people also had this idea so I was forced to come up with something original. I decided to do my project on antidepressant withdrawal because it was similar to my original topic and because recently in my personal life I had started taking antidepressants and had been foolish enough to stop taking them cold-turkey (see timeline). I thought it was a most interesting experience and I wanted to further research this topic. | ||||||||||||||||||
