you and I sound very much alike. I have been off my antidepressants(have tried many since effexor quit 2 1/2 years ago) for 4 months and still don't have any good days.. i don't know if I will ever feel like I did when I was on the effexor for 18 years before it quit working. If I felt half as good as when it was working I would be happy. I also take attivan, but am at 3 mg. a day just to help me through the anxiety. My worst time is first thing in the morning(usually awake at 4;00 I assume from trying so many drugs) and it is bad till noon and sometimes improves by evening. I have been told depending on how long you have been on antidepressants that it can take up to 6 mths to a year to feel better. I don't mean to sound like a downer but am stating what I have read. If you are still following any replies as you were posting in 2018 I would be interested where you are now with the cbd oil and meds.

Hi bravesurvivor I get an alert on my email so I can reply. Actually I no longer take anything. Two years ago I was kicked out of my psychiatrist office, I was going through health issues and missed an appointment and forgot to let them know and when I tried to make an appointment again they told me not only that my psychiatrist was no longer there but I wasn’t allowed back because I was a no call no show. I’ was upset about it but I’m very thankful for that today. It took me one year to go through all the withdrawals from quitting the meds cold turkey. That was a horrible time I was sick all the time trying to get them out of my system. In the meantime I felt that I needed to take something because my body was conditioned to believe it needed something I was on the meds for so long. I remember thinking that I wanted to start doing something natural that’s where I tried cbd but it never worked. So I found meditation and yoga, that was what got me feeling better. I know it doesn’t sound like it would work but two years later and still not on meds or cbd and I’m happy with no anxiety or depression. I’m realizing how much time of my life I missed just going through the motions like a zombie, I literally don’t remember a lot of that time it’s black like I was in a coma. I wouldn’t change what I’m doing now for anything I’m back to my old self again with real emotions that I never felt before , able too do and say things I remember the next day and no zombie. I wish you lots of luck in your journey and if you ever need anything don’t hesitate to ask I’m here to help anyone that wants it. 💙
