Tired of depression meds: At a loss of what to do

I was on Paxil for 25 years. I tapered myself off in 9 months without my doctor’s knowledge. I was fine for about 4 months and then things started going haywire. To make a long story short, I was told by two doctors that my problems were most likely the result of coming off the Paxil. It may have been too fast for me. I am now taking low dose Prozac which is much much easier to taper. Effexor, an SNRI, and Paxil are probably the two worst to taper.

Thx for your reply. I did a Genesight test and Paxil was in my yellow zone. I like what I read about Prozac with few side effects and easier to come off of, but it is also in my yellow zone :/
I think my brain damaged after 25 years.
How long after your taper did you start Prozac? How long have you been on it? Are you on it for depression and anxiety?
