Alara,
I tried going off meds several times, and each time it was similar to what you've described. I'd feel great for a few weeks, free of the side effects, then the depression would come back. On different occasions I tried vitamins, SAMe, 5-HTP, fish oil, evening primrose oil and St Johns's Wort, and it had no noticeable effect except nausea and neon yellow urine. Going back on antidepressants did the trick every time. You owe it to yourself to find a med that really works instead of struggling without it. Good luck.
