It's definitely true that there's more than a biochemical adjustment that has to happen. The way your brain/mind work changes as you get off the drugs, so you have to relearn how to manage your emotions without them. For me who was on the drugs since I was a teenager this requires learning some skills I never developed to begin with! Kinda crazy.
Most doctors have no clue about the real effects of SSRIs etc., and many are invested in the "SSRIs for life" model. Prescription refill visits, after all, form a large part of their business. So sometimes you have to go it alone because the docs know less than you do about SSRI dependency and withdrawal.
