Hi,
It's good that you have come on here and told people that. I came of antidepressants about 6 or 7 years ago, was doing ok for about 3 years, I'd forgotten what depression was really like and then wham bam like a ghost come back to haunt me I starting getting really suicidal and went through two horrible years of trying to find a drug that would work even just a bit.
I'm not sorry I came off them although when I was going through that horrible time I really regretted ever coming off them but who's to say I might have ended up depressed again even if I'd stayed on them.
What I find really annoying though is people who come off them and like ex-smokers suddenly start becoming anti-anti-depressants. I think some people take them feel better and somehow kid themselves that they actually beat the depression on their own and that they didn't really need the drugs after all. That annoys me so much.
