I too am tapering off A/D's. How are you going about this? Please DO NOT go cold turkey. That is extremely dangerous. You should be tapering by reducing by about 10% a month. A friend decided to quit cold turkey and spiraled into a depression much worse then he had ever experienced before. He tried getting back on the A/D's but they had become ineffective!! He ended up suidical and in a mental hospital for 2 months. Now he's on multiple medications and dealing with nasty side effects. So please be careful and consult the doctor that put you on them.
