Ted,
congrats on getting your feelings back. i'm happy for you!
i can say that when i was last coming off of an AD, it was very hard for me to see anything violent -- so even randomly opening a newsweek or time magazine was hard. i had to go to the other room while my friends watched the news.
it was very hard for me to go through this. the return of my symptoms was hard for me to take; i wasn't used to my unmedicated self. I also had tremendous waves of panic attacks and fear as the drug left my system.
and now that i'm having cognitive symptoms (trouble remembering, learning, etc), i have depression that is triggered by not learning as quickly as i used to or being frustrated abt not remembering things. as soon as i have a moment of feeling unwell, my thoughts float to suicide.
