question: which ssri is most likely to cause discontinuation syndrome if abruptly stopped?
fluoxetine
paroxetine
sertraline
escitalopram

Explanation:

To determine which SSRI is most likely to cause discontinuation syndrome when abruptly stopped, we analyze the pharmacokinetics of each option. Paroxetine has a shorter half - life and higher affinity for certain receptors, making it more likely to cause discontinuation symptoms upon abrupt cessation compared to Fluoxetine (longer half - life), Sertraline, and Escitalopram.

Answer:

B. Paroxetine
