Answer 1

To begin with, it normally takes 3 weeks to a month for the drug to build up in your system. Switching your prescription 6-7 times within 90 days is most likely the cause of your problem. I don't think you're experiencing withdrawl symptoms. I think your body is telling you that you need to be on something. Sorry, I know it's not what you want to hear, but I speak from experience. I was on meds years ago and when I tried to go off of them, I felt suicidal. I went back on them unitl I was at a place in my life where I thought I could handle things on my own.The second time I went off my meds, I was okay. I think you need to find the medication that works for you and stick with it.

Answer 2

I can certainly understand your distaste for prescription antidepressants. Their side effects can be very troubling. I would try a naturapath doc and see if he can help you with some herbs and natural remedies. There are many out there but don't try them without some medical supervision and guidance, you could end up poisoning yourself.
