Restarting meds: Did your anti-depressant work the 2nd time around?

Teresa, I came down with Covid on Jun 1st and stopped taking Trazodone for sleep ( have used it since my 32 year old twins were born) because I took Pavloxid, the Anti-viral drug for Covid; was advised not to take trazodone with it. I find I am able to sleep without sleep meds! So I now have discontinued not only Wellbutrin but Trazodone too. So far I am doing well. I don’t currently have a doctor for psychiatric meds but will find one if my mood worsens. Thank you for caring!

Hello @aethos

I understand you are pleased about reducing your antidepressant meds. I'm glad to hear that you are doing well.

You mentioned that you don't have a doctor for psychiatric meds but that you will find one if your moods worsen. As you undoubtedly know, antidepressant meds take a while to build up in your body but they also take a while to leave your system. As a result, you may still have enough of the meds in your system to modulate your moods.

I just mention this because I don't want you to be surprised if you have a let down in a few weeks down the road.

How long have you been without these meds?
