yep, getting off any of the SSRI's can cause depression. you have to work thru it and remember that it is temporary during withdrawals. It is so difficult I know! I'm on day 41 of getting off effexor. I found getting off prozac more depressing than effexor. Sometimes we mistake being tired for depression. Try to tell yourself, no I'm not depressed, I'm tired and need rest. I found myself telling myself I'm depressed alot during withdrawals. When in fact I was tired of the symptoms and needed rest, etc.
Good luck,
Wendy
