Antidepressants

[Mike]

Love the book;)  John i know your not a doctor and not looking for medical advice...I have been taking a small dose of an antidepressant for several years..I am active in feeling work while on the med..Thinking about tapering off though as i really want to get in touch with all feelings.  I am a little concerned as i quit taking the meds a few years back and a few months after i stopped i ended a relationship.  This caused panic attacks and depression..In hindsight after reading your book think i could have avoided some of the anxiety and depression through acceptance..My rejection of those feelings seems to have created a snowball effect exacerbating the anxiety and depression..Anyway just wanted to get your input and your thoughts on these types of medications and see if you or anyone else similar experience with getting off meds.

Thanks
