So must some advice -- don't get off them. Why suffer when you don't need to?? Why go thru these bouts of depression when you don't have to? It's miserable when you do. The ups and downs are awful. Stay on an even keel and keep taking them. Your life will be so much nicer. Talk to your doc about it.

Best of luck and God bless. Hugs, Lee
Everyone's situation is different. Those decisions should be between the physician and the patient.....the people who know all the details. What's right for one person is not necessarily right for everyone. In other words....they are personal
