I am sorry - I mean REALLY sorry - that this has happened to you.
For what it is worth, I think employing prolonged taper periods for antidepressants and benzodiazepines is one of the worst things you can do to your brain. My guess is that it keeps the brain in an in-between state of withdrawal that fosters a kindling effect that ultimately produces deleterious hypersensitivities to these drugs - perhaps even treatment resistance. This is only conjecture on my part.
