Discontinuation syndromes subsided within a month in all but 3 patients (27%) in the Fava et al. study.
“Discontinuation syndromes subsided within a month in all but 3 patients (27%).”
From Withdrawal Symptoms after Selective Serotonin Reuptake Inhibitor Discontinuation: A Systematic Review (2015) · cites this paper as [50]
In the letter “Citalopram withdrawal symptoms” (page not provided), Benazzi reports that one patient’s symptoms disappeared after a week, supporting only the general point that symptoms can subside within a month. The letter does not report a Fava et al. study or the claim that three patients (27%) still had symptoms after a month. (LLM, conf=0.85)
Experimental — accuracy not yet measuredNine of 20 patients (45%) with panic disorder and agoraphobia who had remitted upon behavioral treatment experienced a discontinuation syndrome according to specific criteria based on the DESS after gradual tapering of SSRI.
“Nine of 20 patients (45%) experienced a discontinuation syndrome according to specific criteria based on the DESS.”
From Withdrawal Symptoms after Selective Serotonin Reuptake Inhibitor Discontinuation: A Systematic Review (2015) · cites this paper as [50]
The letter “Citalopram withdrawal symptoms” (page not provided) describes one patient who developed symptoms suggestive of a discontinuation syndrome despite slow tapering. It does not report a group of 20 patients, nine cases (45%), behavioral treatment, or DESS-based criteria. (LLM, conf=0.88)
Experimental — accuracy not yet measuredThere are anecdotal reports on the use of clonazepam and other benzodiazepines or mood stabilizers for SSRI withdrawal.
“There are anecdotal reports on the use of clonazepam and other benzodiazepines or mood stabilizers, which, however, need to be properly tested [15,50,59,62,72] .”
From Withdrawal Symptoms after Selective Serotonin Reuptake Inhibitor Discontinuation: A Systematic Review (2015) · cites this paper as [50]
In “Citalopram withdrawal symptoms” (page unavailable), the case report describes a patient taking alprazolam and valproate when citalopram was discontinued and withdrawal symptoms appeared. It does not describe those drugs as treatments for withdrawal, mention clonazepam, or assess whether such treatments need testing. (LLM, conf=0.82)
Experimental — accuracy not yet measuredBhanji et al. and Fava et al. documented the persistence of symptoms up to 1 year following paroxetine discontinuation.
“Bhanji et al. [59] and Fava et al. [50] documented the persistence of symptoms up to 1 year following paroxetine discontinuation.”
From Withdrawal Symptoms after Selective Serotonin Reuptake Inhibitor Discontinuation: A Systematic Review (2015) · cites this paper as [50]
The letter ‘Citalopram withdrawal symptoms’ (page unavailable) mentions that paroxetine can cause discontinuation symptoms, but does not discuss symptoms persisting for a year or findings by Bhanji et al. or Fava et al. Its reported case concerns citalopram, with symptoms disappearing after one week. Searches for paroxetine, the named authors, and year-long persistence found no passage addressing the attributed finding. (LLM, conf=0.76)

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
