I agree about the lack of studies on this...I have not had that rebound effect, but then, given my life, I never needed medication or felt depressed until I started in the world of self-employment, and that's unrelated to this thread so I won't hijack it...
Back to the point...medications have worked for me...Lexapro for 6 months pulled me out of a deep depression ~ Cymbalta for 8 months did the same ~ then Effexor for 2 months pulled me back from the brink. Some would suggest that I suffered the rebound depression, but I beg to differ as it was life circumstances that precipitated each return to living life with that cold, gray hand on the shoulder again...
