It's only too true AD's can set you off cycling. Just had the experience for the last six months. On my own initiative I halved Zoloft down to 50mg. End of cycling. However, it's bittersweet- back came social anxiety. By the barrelful. But cycling will stop and that might eventually relieve depression
> I was scared to wean myself off of effexor based on what I had read in here, and most of you were right. It is a hell I wish I hadn't had the opportunity of visiting.
> I feel like I am dying, slowly, but surely, dying. I don't necessarily mind this, I seem to have lost the will to live. I didn't have much in that dept. to begin with.
> How am I supposed to get out of this hole they've thrown me into now?
> I see a new psychiatrist on tuesday, she's the one who wants me off the effexor, says it makes my bipolar disorder worse. But what good is worse if I'm not alive? How have you dealt with this? Help me here, please!!??!!
