...hey, just a quick word of caution. Don't go too quick! Cut it in half every 7-10 days if you have to to until you get down to say 3 tablets. Then shave it every few days. My experience is that the rebound 3 months down the line is a lot worse when you go down too quickly.About quitting caffeine- it's a shame because a cup of strong black to tea is said to have as many anti-oxidants as a serving of spinach and strawberries. So, drinking tea is just as beneficial for the brain and the protection of neurotransmitters which is important when you're coming off an antidepressant. And de-caffeinated doesn't have the same effects.But anyway, if you say caffeine is bad for your anxiety, so be it. Maybe very high doses of vitamin C for energy might be helpful in your case. Also, an anti-oxidant called Coenzyme Q10 which athletes are said to use to give them a boost.
Anyways, keep up the morale...
