In reply to REMISSION of depression through AD's, posted by BennyJ on March 25, 2004, at 23:20:36
Hey Ben!
I had a short remission after going off all of my medication. I forget exactly what I was on, but it was a couple of SSRI's, Clonazepam, I think 4mgs a day. I went off cold turkey which was really stupid. And PAINFUL! I imagin somewhat like coming off any type of drugs?? However after that few daze!! My mind was clear as it had ever been in the 4 years of medication, I felt Normal!! But after about a month and a half, I spiraled right back into proably the worst depressive episode of my lifetime, and it took, months to get me out of the hell. Really wasn't worth it for me. I think if you do it, it should be supervised by your doc. Sorry it wasn't a more uplifting story. I really hoped I was cured.
