On one hand I liked it because I didn't care what others thought of me so much and I was able to stand up for myself more. On the other hand, I really didn't feel like me anymore.
Also, I tried a break without it and over about a 4 month period of time, I spiraled down to the worst depression I have ever been in. I had major life stuff hit me. Since life stuff always happens; I've wondered if my inability to deal with what happened was because I was off the medication. Even going back on it.. it has taken a year to get me to where I am feeling pretty good about life and able to handle the hard days.

I understand you and I'm partly scared because of what could happen with the withdrawel so I will do it bit by bit.
Have you been on meds for many years? I have. Around 18 years.
