Yep, that sounds like withdrawal or 'discontinuation syndrome' as it is officially known. How quickly did you come off? Did you taper?

My doctor won't give me anti-depressants as I tend to get hypomanic and mixed and the rapid-cycling gets worse. Lamotrigine is used for Bipolar depression so perhaps she will try you on that. I have found it helpful but not as stimulating as an anti-depressant.
