I think you should implement an exercise program before you go off of your AD's. I did and it helped tremendously. I think exercise is a natural antidepressant. so get goin on that while you are in the tapering process. it will help with the weight gain, as well.
and just so you know....i tapered, but still went thru the withdrawals - sweats, brain zaps, fogginess, fatigue, irritability, etc. it does go away. You just have to fight thru it...I really think exercising helped.
By the way - you sound really good, whether you think so or not.
