    What antidepressant were you on and how much? That makes a big difference to what can be done....... I have been on ALL of them and I can tell you they are all nightmares in their own way. You can message me if you don't want to tell the world or just reply. I can probably help. Also did you quit cold turkey or did you slowly go off of the med?
