Hello,When tapering off Effexor or other AD's, do you notice a temporary worsening of depression and anxiety? Or, do you think such a worsening of symptoms is merely a return of the illness?
If you've had experience with this issue, please post away!
Thanks
Scott

Scott, it definitely was worse the three separate times I came off ADs. I don't necessarily think it was the depression coming back as after a long stretch, the worse of the feelings left but then good ol' simple depression returned & I had to return to ADs each time.
