The experience of mistaking a small thing for a large threat or unhappiness is common, but from what I read, that mistake involved more extremes of mood. Is that near what you're describing as mood lability?
>It's just not making sense to me that an AD would have been helping mood stability in combo with the supposed "mood explanation". I thought if anything my baseline mood would drop without it.
Do you suspect any obsessive spectrum issues? That might be one explanation for the symptom you describe and how an AD could provide what seems like mood stability. Or there could be ADHD or ADHD like symptoms which can be expressed as mood lability. Is Fetzima anything like Strattera?Something else to consider is the time taken to taper. Sometimes hurrying that last flippin little bit of medication can result in quite a negative destabilization. You could go back up to 10 mg for awhile before discontinuing.
I've never done very well without medication that included an AD. I thought I could do it, and tried a number of times. I'm curious why you discontinued as well. Not to say, I hope, that you shouldn't discontinue if you want. Would you talk a bit more about your reasonings?
