Hey Cleo... I've been on anti-depressants for about 11 years or so... and I feel like I've been on everything under the sun but Xanax and Prozac... I was on Zoloft up until January of 2007. I then had a stroke caused by trauma and immediately went from taking 50mgs to none. I had been up to 100mgs but came down to 50 a few weeks earlier with no affect. I was also on Effexor for a long time - it had replaced Wellbutrin, which had made me shake horribly. The Effexor was wonderful - I had a great combination with it, with only occasional lows. Now, I'm only on Cymbalta and Provigil. Provigil is more for the narcolepsy which resulted from the stroke, but it also helps the Cymbalta work... apparently it's a mystery drug (http://www.crazymeds.us/provigil.html), but I couldn't get out of bed without it. Everyone's different, though. I hope you have a really easy time!
