Hello Jeano,
Hello, I've been on AD's for about 5 years now, it started with zoloft, and now I'm on Effexor. I can only offer you my experience and tell you that yes your brain gets used to having that medication and it gets upset when its not around, but discontinuation symptoms can be managed, and if an AD can give you a life that smooths out the road for you and makes those pitfalls not as deep, try it. It's just helped me figure out all my crap while not sending me off the deep end. One day I'll probably go off the meds, but for now I like myself a bit more even, maybe a bit more resilient. Yeah, so I'm not as emotional on them, GOOD! You don't have to be at the mercy of your moods.
