This is just a thought, but maybe you would have luck trying several different medications at the same time. For years I only took Prozac and thought it really helped, then a few years ago I started having more anxiety problems and the doctor began me on Buspar. Once again the Buspar made a huge difference. Then,last year my doctor diagnosed me at ADD and began me on Strattera. Somehow the combo of all these meds has made me more functional than I have been in years. I have also observed the same in my 11 year old son. It's a combination of medications that keep his stable. Good luck! Don't give up on trying to feel better.

> Thanks, I have had depression for years and still have not found somthing that works adequately. I have tried many of the anti-depressants and other drugs, however I never experienced this kind of withdrawal. I was hoping I would not have to taper off given that would mean I must buy lower dose pills. I was taking 60 and 40 mg pills. I dropped to just 60mg a day. I guess I'll drop to 40mg and when those run out see if I can handle the withdrawal.

> Thanks much for your feedback. I would go on an anti-deppressant if I thought it might help, but I have been on so many that did not work (effexor, prozax, paxil, wellbutrin, remeron, lexapro, celexa...etc.). I would not know what to try next although there is always somthing new to try--I guess I've lost faith in medications. But I know I'm being irrational. All there is to do is to keep trying.
