I know it is so nice to be off med's and to want to feel okay without them. Notice I did not say good, but just okay. Good can be scary if you haven't felt good in a long time.
I thought I would be okay going off the Parnate just this past week, but I am a mess again and cry at the drop of a pin. Oh sure I can hide it too but am at home now doing a report because I am so much more inefficient when I am starting to get really depepressed. So, I started back on the Parnate the other day, and all the stuff that happens with Parnate when one starts up on it in the beginning is happening again--the being tired in the middle of the day, the dry mouth, the insomnia--no I can't say I have insomnia. I just can't seem to sleep more than four hours straight. I hate it. I want a nice 8 hours of sleep.
So, I would think going back on the antidepressant is okay. My husband pooped out on Prozac and rather than try something different, his gp who prescribes it has him on something like 80 mg. per day. I really wish he would go see a psychiatrist as he is on heart medications and also on cholesteral medications.
Personally, I like feeling NOT depressed or at least not so serioiusly or profoundly depressed as I can get. Mild I can handle. Moderate I don't want either. Take care.
