Once someone who is on antidepressants begins feeling better, it can be difficult to understand what will happen once they stop taking these medications. Stopping antidepressants can cause side effects such as dizziness, anxiety, nausea, and shock-like sensations, and may even lead to a relapsed depression.

Stopping antidepressants is a decision each person should make with the help of their doctor and should never be made based on financial reasons. If you’re worried about the cost of antidepressants without insurance, Mira offers coupon codes to help you find medication at discounts of up to 80 percent and can also help you locate pharmacies near you with the lowest prices, all for only $45 per month.
