I have advised my friend to wait until she feels strong enough in herself to deal with the side-effects before coming off them totally.

With anti-depressants it's generally emphasized that one needs to go off them gradually with the care of a physician. Going off them cold turkey is considered a very bad idea, as withdrawal can be a serious issue, though drug companies don't like having the term "addictive" applied in this case.
