I'm with Sage on this one (surprise, surprise)...just WHY are you stepping down and hoping to go off your AD? You are STILL having depressive episodes, you've had MANY in the past years..Clinical Depression RARELY just goes away, it's cyclical.
Personally, I thought about cutting back on my Celexa this summer, but then the stressor regarding my office popped up and threw me for a loop.
Then last Saturday I had an entire day of weeping and feeling really down. Echoes of two years ago, anniversary of a friend's passing, continuing lack of PA from CJ...
I accept that I NEED that little serotonin boost, I'm way too overreactive without it. And I remember how YOU were before the AD's and when you missed a few days.
I wouldn't take this lightly at all. I agree with S, if you MUST get of the AD's you should have a therapist lined up for what that might dredge up.
Things are still so stressful for you, why now?
Concerned, but overall thrilled with how you're sounding!!
