I am a 68 year old woman who has taken anti-depressants for the past 30 years and have, at various times throughout those years, gone off them, hoping I no longer needed them. Each time I have restarted meds because I eventually feel depressed again, literally crying all the time and withdrawing from life, usually within several months after I stop meds. I have been on several different meds over the years, including Zoloft, Prozac, Paxil and for the past 15 years or so, Cymbalta. For the past several years I have been combining Cymbalta with Wellbutrin. I recently have had an issue with high blood pressure and have stopped the Wellbutrin to see if my bp will lower. I’m also waiting for the bottom to fall out…..wish there was a better way.
