In reply to 14th anniversary of my depression, posted by Babak on October 23, 2002, at 11:30:12
I had a similar experience when I quit Paxil, and I didn't take it for that long. Apparently, in folks who are lucky in that their depression goes into remission (and stays there), the drug has permitted the neurotransmitter balancing act to occur naturally once again.
Anyway, my thought was: perhaps we need to give our brains more time to get back into shape. Like a really, really slow taper off the meds. When I was a kid, my Dad raised the training wheels on my bike just a touch each time.
Hmmmm...
