I believe the reason for the variation in discontinuation symptoms between different SSRIs is that half-life of Paxil (paroxetine) is shorter (24h) than that of some of the other drugs in the group such as Prozac (fluoxetine) (2-4 days, and a metabolite is 1-2 weeks.
Cost controls also have a cost.
The UK NHS has chronic staffing shortages, UK doctors are going abroad for better pay; currently the favourites are Australia, Canada and the Middle East. I have heard quite a few people say they actively discourage their children from being doctors.
I manage by doing things like riding a bicycle with my daughter after dinner, playing with the dog, reading old novels or reading about computer science (as a hobby, I don't work in IT), and reading stoic philosophy.
>The evidence suggests that there's no significant relationship between SSRI use and suicide risk except for young people, for whom SSRIs may actually increase the risk of suicidal behaviours and self-harm.
The paper says:
"However, in children and adolescents, there appears to be a bit of increased risk of suicidal ideations and attempts, but not of completed suicides."
