Yes, it is much quieter here now. It is sad but things never stay the same.
I was on some antidepressant or another since 1999. I used to think about death every time I tried to get off of them, also would get so stressed my blood pressure would go sky high. But when I was on them I didn't cry but I also didn't laugh either and I always had a pretty good sense of humor. I got tired of it a while back (my 5 year old grandson said something that everyone just died laughing about---meanwhile while I acknowledged it was very funny, I didn't even chuckle) and decided to tell my doctor about tired of feeling blah...no blacks, no whites just life was shades of gray., she reduced my dosage, that didn't help, I started taking it every other day and started feeling better. She took me off of it entirely last month and I can't believe how HUMAN I feel. But I don't think I could have ever gotten off of my medicine if I hadn't retired. My job was a killer. I hope your depression improves, it really is chronic and exhausts you just trying to live with it every day.
