Thank you for your response. I actually have no intention on going back on Cymbalta. Like all the other antidepressants I have tried it made me tired, apathetic, and caused weight gain. Wellbutrin made me very suicidal. My psychiatrist finally called me after I wrote him an angry email. He also affirmed my suspicion that it could take a month or more for my receptors to return to their pre-antidepressant state or baseline. So, there is a chance that I will relapse, but I also think it would be a good idea to know what it is like to be off AD's. Antidepressants have never brought me out of depression, only lessened it a little. I'm just not sure if I think the side-effects are worth the mild response I get. I guess when I wrote the question I was confused and angry as to why I feel worse than I did before I started antidepressants.
