Thanks to all for the replies so far.
I've tapered on and off the Surmontil and stimulants (the first was Provigil) - it was indeed tough (fatigue and depression) but it did pass after a few days.
I've been continuously on one of the SSRIs at one time or another since 1992 - I'd started ADs in 1990 with Pamelor but had to discontinue because the effective dosage range for me caused tachycardia. I'm terrified of going off Lexapro because I'm nearly certain of how horrible that would be; unfortunately, it's now clear to me that I would have to do this to begin an MAOI, which may or may not provide a lasting benefit for me.
Ugghhh... :(
