Your point is well-taken, Sigi. Right now, my depression has stabilized such that it is no worse now than it was on Parnate 80 mg/day. Reducing anxiety with Ativan has helped a great deal at turning off the catastrophic and suicidal thinking. I definitely experienced an increase in the severity of depression immediately after discontinuing Parnate, but I recovered. Perhaps it was a rebound withdrawal effect. In retrospect, I would have taken 3 weeks to taper and use Ativan for anxiety.
I began taking Trintellix (vortioxetine) yesterday.
