Thanks for your reply and helpful comments. Sorry about your loss. Yes, I have kept my doctors informed of my experiences. I think overall my current medications are doing me more good than bad. For therapies, it is a good suggestion. I have gone to therapies many years ago but I have been feeling well enough to have nothing to go to therapies for. This is also a reason why I want to go off medications.

Thank You for letting me know you found my reply helpful. And for your concern for my losses. I think one positive thing about experiencing depression is it gives us more understanding and empathy for others.
You sound like you have very valid reasons for wanting to get off your meds. My only other thought would be a possible trial of another antidepressant, since you seem to have somewhat of a relapse off the Effexor. Good luck!
