I sure feel for you JoHum. I've been right where you are. Hang in there and keep talking it out with others. This isn't some weird experience that is happening only to you, others have waded through this bog ahead of you and can share their encouragement with you. The withdrawal symptoms will lessen over time. Mine took about one month after being off AD's completely.
I would do the same thing you are doing by stopping the AD to ascertain whether or not you are still depressed off of the med. My deciding factor would be the fact that you began the AD prior to the diagnosis of your thyroid condition.
If it helps at all, I think you are doing the right thing. It may be that you really do need an AD. Meds have saved my life. But, it is OK to question too. Don't be too hard on yourself.
You will get through this JoHum. Keep us posted on how you are doing.
