... a set of symptoms that can occur after an abrupt cessation (or marked reduction in dose) of an antidepressant medication that was taken continuously for at least 1 month.

OBS

Symptoms generally begin within 2-4 days and typically include specific sensory, somatic, and cognitive-emotional manifestations.

OBS

antidepressant withdrawal syndrome: Early reports of antidepressant discontinuation syndrome made heavy use of the term "withdrawal" to describe discontinuation symptoms; however, antidepressant medications are not believed to be habit forming and are not associated with drug-seeking behavior.

  • anti-depressant withdrawal syndrome

DEF

[...] ensemble de symptômes pouvant apparaître après l'arrêt brutal (ou une réduction marquée des posologies) d'un traitement antidépresseur qui était pris de façon continue depuis au moins 1 mois.

OBS

Les symptômes commencent généralement dans les 2 à 4 jours et comprennent typiquement des manifestations sensorielles, somatiques et cognitivo-émotionnelles spécifiques.

OBS

syndrome de sevrage aux antidépresseurs : Le terme «syndrome de sevrage aux antidépresseurs» est fréquemment utilisé, mais il serait plus juste de parler de «symptôme d'arrêt des antidépresseurs». En effet, on associe la notion de «sevrage» aux drogues créant une dépendance.
