This is an absolute failure on the part of medical science. SSRIs went mainstream in 1988. By 1992! We knew about withdrawal issues: https://www.wikidoc.org/index.php/SSRI_discontinuation_syndr... Let's be generou

This is trivial to navigate. Use the notes API to post the likely presence of a public bookcase with details (link to image, description, etc); and the community will slowly ingest the contributions. Or set up a maproulette challenge with

It also forces a spot to be freed, so that people with enough $ don't simply rent the most desirable cark parks forever.
