I want you to know you found a great site. Welcome to Neuro talk. There are alot of people on this site who have experience and knowledge of these medications. Someone will be able to address you guestions and concerns. I know it is hard to reduce anxiety, fear, and all those other emotions. You are right, that coming off some medications can induce a most unpleasant experience. Depression is in my family too. I have been in the same boat also, and came to this site with many different medical problems. I found compassion and a group of people who stick with me through all of it. Please feel free to go around to the different boards. Mrs. D is quite knowledgeable about many medications. I think she does alot of research. I really hope your situation improves, and that you find a medication with your doctor that can really help you. I am here too if you ever need to talk, or vent. Take care, ginnie
