Hi, hope you are feeling a little better and the initial side effects of the meds haven't been too bad. I've been on and off a/ds for years and after 5 years med free went back on them 3 years ago. Decided to try without them earlier in the year and it was a complete disaster, and turned out they had been controlling my IBS as well as my depression (I'm on citalopram) so am back on them and now accepted that they are just something I need like a diabetic needs insulin. Nothing that helps you to cope can really be a backwards step
