I am considering also dropping meds but that is more because I dont think they work that well for me - still get a lot of dull days w crying, feeling sad etc. And this was not a major but a moderate depression that occured AFTER 14 days on Remeron taken because of insomnia.
Also because it its a uni-polar depression that according to most docs should be over by now (2,5 years after it came).
I am now trying to investigate if my lifestyle (job, family, projects) is too busy and therefore causing these bad periods.
I sometimes find it hard to believe that my symptoms are caused by being busy as all other things in my life are good.What type of illness are you taking meds for? What caused it?
