Tell him unless he has a medical degree his opinion is invalid on this. What is the goal of this argument, to get you to “quit” ssris and go cold turkey?

i told him that’s how long term meds work you gradually get off them. he disagreed saying his meds he can stop taking just like that. he takes allergy meds. ALLERGY MEDS. he isn’t even on a ssri

and he thinks that doctors over prescribe them and that he hopes a safer alternative comes along in the future. he constantly talks about how i should get off my meds (i take lexapro) at some point and like yea i don’t wanna take it my whole life but i don’t really have control over a literal chemical imbalance in my brain
