Little Turtle-
It is a very confusing topic. On the one hand, when I was first prescribed an anti-depressant--it did make me feel less suicidal. On the other hand, after stopping for about 20 days, I was extremely paranoid, delusional and went through with what I was afraid to do before. More recently, I had severe headaches, dizziness and nausea when I tried to quit. I haven't been depressed in a while. When I go to my psych--I am going to ask for the lowest dose (75mg) verses the 150mg per day bupropion dose I am now on. I am even going to talk to my husband about it (that I am more freely talking to him IS a miracle). I am lucky. I feel like I figured a lot out through self reflection but I hope I am not addicted to my anti-depressant for life......
