I think what you are describing is a pretty common experience. Did you ever read the book "Listening To Prozac"? It was fascinating, in that it posed the question: Which is the REAL person? The one on the SSRI or the one not taking it.
I had a few months off of all anti-depressants this year for first time in a decade and it was interesting revisiting my "old self". She's not so bad :) but she is just always on the edge of desperation.
Also, I had a very bad Fibromyalgia flare up during that time and that is when I figured out that Prozac had been helping with Fibro all these years and I didn't realize it.
