Comicgeek, that sounds so terrible (and familiar).

My pdoc is taking me off my AD too (also causing bad reactions). it's not just you.
If you're looking for some things to make you feel better in the interim, here are some things that really helped me.

1. Try to get some sunshine every day (Even if you take a nap in the sun)
2. Vitamins. I love "Emergen-C" packets, they give me a boost of energy too. Also, magnesium and Vit D have really helped.
3. Exercise. Which is so hard to get when you're depressed. I am terrible at doing this. I try to just go for a walk when I'm feeling impossible.
4. Quitting caffeine. I still have trouble waking up, but I feel a lot less groggy as a whole. I don't feel dependent on it anymore to just be awake.

I hope things get better soon.
