'Finally, another phenomenon I have CONSISTENTLY experienced is that when I come off SSRI's, I feel better for like a day or two.'
All SSRIs are indirectly anticholinergic so you experienced cholinergic rebound, which feels good, (before you inevitably relapse into hellish depression).
Could be lessened REM sleep suppression making you feel better slept/more restored (like back in the day when you were young and unconflicted)
