Compared to some people here, my problems are minor. Perhaps I never really needed the meds. Perhaps I was simply using them as pep pills. Maybe many of my problems were situational, and I was only fooling myself into thinking they were psychiatric. I am speaking only for myself here, please! I'm NOT saying that "depression is only in the head".
My official diagnosis was major depressive disorder. I spent roughly the whole of 2006 on Zoloft 50 mg / day and Wellbutrin 150 mg / day. Earlier this year, I became worried that my ambition was being sapped by the Zoloft, so I pretty much just stopped.
My observation, Phillipa, was simply that, by your own admission, psychotropics don't seem to help you much, so I was just thinking that perhaps the next step would be to see what happens without them.

> Klavot that's what I would love. I know I'll always need some thyroid med but the others I don't want and never did. Can you help me? My babblelight is on. If that's not comfortable to you could you explain dx, meds , lenght of time on them and how you stopped. I desperately need to hear your story. pretty pretty please? Love Phillipa
