Without medication my mood has been just fine, I don't feel drained all the time, I can feel happy, my appetite has improved and I don't wake up groggy every morning.

I do get a tad bit more anxious and have some trouble concentrating but, I deal with it.

You're probably experiencing issues because your dosing is all screwed up. Try the organizer and consider going without meds.
I hope, for your sake, that going off meds works for you and doesn't backfire. Stats show that people usually relapse within 3 months and you are still within that time period, however maybe, unlike me, you can function in depression.
