In reply to anyone ever go off meds were just fine, posted by sleepygirl on August 30, 2005, at 21:24:03
Hi,
Yes I did come off Seroxat when I was about 31 and after one or two shaky weeks did just fine, unfortunately about 4 years later, the depression started again (again for no apparent reason) and the drugs have never worked as well since, infact I've spent the last four years (I'm now 39) sometimes feeling so bad I wanted to kill myself and having to take Antipsychotics to make me feel better.
In hindsight I really regret ever coming off Seroxat in the first place, although maybe I would still have got depressed again. It's hard to know what to do. The Doctors don't really know. Maybe once they get more insight into depression and start using Pet Scans as a matter of course they can begin to monitor people and advise them on what to do.
