What are advantages and disadvantages of starting an SSRI at a high dose and titrating down?
Why on earth would you want to do that?
Anti-depressants must remain at a certain dosage for a certain time to work.
If you titrate up too fast, initial phase side effects will be very strong.
If you titrate down you will not achieve therapeutic dose, so the AD won't work at all.
So doing this, you will have all of the strength of side effects and none of the effectiveness.
