Antidepressants

I was off antidepressants for a while but have started again.
I did something that's not recommended and yet typical of me - I made a decision one day to just stop.
I was doing fine and getting through the weird brain fog and dizziness but then got sick last week (unrelated to my stopping anti ds - every second person in Dublin is sick at the minute).
Anyway, this flu or whatever it is took away my bullishness about getting through the withdrawal from the pills and I've also had bouts of horrible, inexplicable anxiety over the last couple of days. Which is no big deal really but I'm not set up to deal with it at the minute.
So I went to my doctor today who gave me some grief over making a unilateral decision to stop abruptly. I feel kind of disappointed in myself for starting back on the pills but part of me thinks that's really stupid - it's just a pill each day which luckily doesn't burden me with the side effects some other people get.
Anyway, that's it.
