Hi TriedEveryDrug, I am not sure, but that is kind of what happened to me. I was on Ads for over 10 years. I took an early retirement at 50. I felt a lot of the pressure was off of me. So I stopped taking my meds (Effexor and Zypreza). Things went along pretty good for about 6 months. As I think back, I really had some warning signs that I was starting to spiral back into a relapse. I ignored them and paid dearly. I hit a new low in terms of intensity and duration. I have felt better lately, but I am on more drugs (Zoloft, lithium, Seroquel) than I have ever been on. Side effects? Yes. But I would rather fight them than the beast. I don't think I will ever go off meds again. Good luck.
Dave
