Hi
new member to this site - I have been taking anti-depressants now for some 18 years (a long time!). I dont believe these are having any positive benefit for me now. have been on duloxetine 90mg now for over a year. I have managed to sort out a lot of personal problems in my life - ie quitting booze and drugs, getting fit, help with friends, regular job etc so believe I can now deal with any low moods that come along (everyone has bad days!). I would like to hear from anyone that has succesfully come off any anti-depressants and their experiences please? I know it wont be easy to come off them after such a long time but know in my heart its the right thing for myself. a lot of my "depression" was just keeping it all inside and isolating.
thanks geoff
