That's my primary problem I think.

It might be though that you have stopped all antidepressants for a week.
No, not all, Nort and Lithium and Valdoxan is still there, I only need to stop Lex and Mirt
I've had periods when I have stopped antidepressants for a week and I've experienced a kind of rebound feeling good type affect.

> Are you working or studying now? Have you ever?I am working when I am not having a depressive episode. I now have my third episode in 5 years, but I must be doing something right since I am still at the same workplace

I've always wondered if it would help me and I kind of feel that if I don't try it then I will never know. So I can tick it off my list It sounds as though the affects aren't too bad from what you have told me.Agreed, but I am suspecting that the chance of a good result and fewest amount of side effects are depending on how skilled the personel are and if the equipment is up to date. So I would check that if I was you...
