Hi,
Don't know for sure, but perhaps you quit taking meds because you are feeling better? Or the opposite, like nothing you do will make life better for you, so why bother with the meds.
If the combination of meds you are taking seems to help you with depression and the chronic pain, you need to take them religiously. Or only stop on advice of your doctor.
If they are not working, you need to speak to your doctor(s) immediately and try something different.
Believe me, keeping in constant contact with your doc is very helpful. I started getting even more and more depressed on Paxil. I needed an increase in dosage, but didn't want to face it/admit it.
What else is going on in your life that might be contributing? Have you started any different drugs recently? Do you feel good or bad right now?
Good luck!
