has anyone else been on the for a long period of time and been weened off them and felt fine for a week or two then just sat and cried for hours?
alot of things in my life at the moment have built up and all hit me at the same time and i dont know if its related to the tablets or not but i just cant stop crying,i dont know where to turn i have no where to turn,
this thread isnt an attention thang i was just wondering if anyone who had experienced this ended up back on the pills or was it just a stage?

oh dear me dear. no i haven't i'm afraid. not well up on anti anything. you got loads going for you now and in the future. try thinking positive rocker. make a bleeding goody list and a baddy list or something.
get out of the house and do some retail therapy or summat.
don't take AlphaMethylPHenEThylAMINE
See how you get along and if you start feeling how you used to might be a good idea to go back and see your doc

yea i was weened off them over a course of about a year,personally i want to stay on them foreverrrrr
im still feeling really shitty but i dont want to go back to my gp yet cause i no she wont give me them back,
felix i was on Amitryptiline
you dont know that she wont give you them back until you go and ask her.
I was on prozac for about 5 months and I came off it suddenly due to illness. I felt fine for about 2 weeks and then I went on a sudden down, became very moody and irritable and got regular panic attacks and insomnia.
My boyfriend became very worried so he asked a professional and apparently the drugs are still in your system for up to 2 weeks after you stop taking them - thats why the dip is delayed. Personally I went to see the doctor and she put me on a very low dosage of a different pill which would control my moods and help me sleep - and when I come off them I'll wean myself off and not go cold turkey again!!!
I never realised how much antidepressants affect you, and I was never aware of the time delay but now I am im letting you all know!!!!:crazyeyes

However they do help a lot of people and many feel that the side effects are worth it, so its not all bad.
i've just gone on these but my doc gave me some talk about they're a headache reliever now as well as an anti-depress. :chin: I didn't really sit down and think about the problems of coming off them in the future.
I am kinda worried about coming off them though i bet it will be hell cos im on venlafaxine and even by the 24 hour mark your sat there thinking shit my heads all over the place i need another capsule then after i neck one my heads back together buzzin nicely again lol so yeah i think its gonna be a long time until I choose to get off the things.....
I'm trying to wean myself of this drug I'm on now, but I know I'll only end up with more problems.
If your anti-depressant is an MOAI then, well thank god your alive, NEVER mix those two.
i`m on a SSNI, i find it to be a good mix it seems to make me lose the plot more and the comedown isn`t half as bad.
normally feel shitty next day but the medication seems to take the edge of it by monday or tuesday my heads virtually back to normal in the bubble anti depressants make you live in.
I know its probably not a good idea to do it but i guess as long as i have a good time i`m prepared to take the risks.
