Not sure how things work in Portugal, but the truth of the matter is that you will be detected either through your admission, your medical records, or through a post mortem tox screen should the worse happen.

Telling untruths is not the way forward, from the tone of your post, it sounds as if you agree.

I doubt that a medical examination in itself would pick op any signs of ssri useage.

It sounds like your anxiety / depression symptoms have improved, and it may be time to speak to your prescriber about gradually reducing your regime, and placing an alternative plan of care.

Don't stop your treatment suddenly, there is a chance that your condition will worsen if you do.

I bet I'd be automatically disqualified for taking these kind of drugs once in my life...don't you?
from recent posts, it sounds like this is not true.
Good luck.
