They prevent Serotonin from being destroyed in a sense to help you build up a stock pool of Serotonin in the brain which is dependent on your Serotonin creation to build that up which takes a few weeks to feel the effects where when you remove the SSRI it in a sense flushed out your stock pool of Serotonin and you’re back to baseline.
