Abstract
The literature is devoid of reports indicating that a reduction in the dosage or discontinuation of antidepressants of any chemical class produces symptoms of major depression within 2‐4 d. Four cases suggesting that a reduction in the daily dose or withdrawal of an antidepressant may produce symptoms of major depression within hours to days are presented.Keywords
