Every person is unique, but with me I get bad without antidepressants. I’ve tried stopping, but went right back on them.

Thanks for the info… I’ll try and pay close attention to see if I start going downhill…

Yes, be careful. I’m SzA and probably depressive type but the pdoc didn’t specify which type I was. I’m doing fine now that I’m back on Cymbalta.

Yeah… same thing for me, when I was in the hospital they just said sza but didn’t specify, but when I started going to the community mental health place they went with depressive type.

Glad you have stuck to your ADS!

This is what I did and I think I am ok without an AD

Was very risky, but the pdoc admits finally that he missed diagnosed me

I told him if I had clinical depression, then I’d be depressed all throughout the working day, but I am not

We’re working on some social supports now

Not to sure about that though

I quit my AD about 8 years ago (I think), other than horrible withdrawal effects that lasted for about 3 months I am glad I went off it. I decided to quit because I didn’t feel depressed anymore. After I quit and the withdrawal was over I was fine.

Good luck!
