If you did come off it and the depression got worse, what would your options be? You dont want to take antidepressants and you dont want to take Depakene, would you take an antipsychotic instead? Would that be a better or worse option for you? Or do you feel you will be able to cope without medication? Just some things to think about.

thanks for your answer!
I just want to live a full life without any medications. I feel like since I started to take the anti-depressant I have no idea how I really feel. I'm taking 500mg depakene at night and I don't feel it stabilizes my mood at all. I want too feel that I have energy again. I feel I can definitely cope without medication, only xanax can be kept until I get my life back together. Whenever I start to do a daily task I get exhausted, and then my mind starts spinning, why is this happening, and I feel like I'm gonna go crazy if this keeps on continuing. But if I had energy to cope with daily tasks then I wouldn't have anxiety at all. I just can't imagine getting back to mania if I stop this med. Anti -depressants caused mania, and I stopped them, and not gonna take them again. I just don't want to be drugged, don't want to take any medication that can cause this exhaustion.
