Why do antidepressants take several months to build up proper levels but only a few days to metabolize out?
In: 5
Every time you take the pill your body saves a small surplus up, the rest either gets used or flushed. By keeping constant resupply over months the baselevel in your body builds up. Once you stop taking them, your body used the surplus instead of the pill. This small surplus is about equal to a few days worth of medication. So it uses the stored surplus up in just a few days.
