You mentioned that you get a rebound improvement whenever you quit a tryciclic. What do you think contributes to this ?, Do you get this with other antidepressants ?
I get rebound improvement when I quit antidepressants. I start to get messages that I was better off without them. Then I feel like god was trying to tell me something. Then, about 3 weeks later I'm really depressed and mildly psychotic.
But I certainly do feel a transient sence of freedom and emotional improvement, it always fades however. I have been trying to figure out the mechanisms for this.
I think that AD's in some sence can act as stabalizers. They seem to alert me to my problems. They sometimes get me thinking/planning way too far ahead. It seems when I come off them I feel very much in the present. But too long off them and I panic because I havn't been thinking about the future :)
