Question by Anty: What are the long term effects of being born addicted to drugs?
The immediate effects on an infant are the withdrawal symptoms and failure to thrive and bond with the caregiver. Are there any long term effects? As in, during the toddler or teenage years. Are any effects seen when they’re older?
What do you mean by “funny”? I’m asking a serious question.

Answer by ixi26c
I am a psychopharmacology student (drugs and behavior). After Thanksgiving we’re going to discuss antidepressants in-depth. But what I already know tells me you do not become addicted to antidepressants. Also, the whole concept of “addiction” isn’t defined. What you’re probably referring to is physical dependency. You would not experience this. Physical dependency is characterized by withdrawal symptoms that tend to be exaggerrated and opposite effects of the drug. But antidepressants, specifically SSRIs (Zoloft, Prozac) have a very long half-life which means it takes a very long time for the body to rid itself of the drug. When you switch antidepressants you have to wait a couple of weeks before trying a new one, otherwise you may risk serotonin toxicity (which is a neurotransmitter in your brain). If you want web sources, why don’t you just search google? I’d be careful about what web sources you trust, however. I’d more readily trust books.
