I have been on comparative for a couple of years and I constantly have to fight the urge to hit my head off something. I am intelligent enough to understand that it is pressure of depression building up. I would also like to add that I crave sweet foods all the time.

I was on Ven for 12 years and was "spellbound" by the drug, not realizing that the dissatisfactions I had in my life were worse since going on meds! I felt the same way as you, that I was just sick of being me, that I wished I could have a lobotomy so I wouldn't care about being me! Give me a brain transplant with a healthy brain, I would say! I ended up going off Ven too quicly last year and ended up with protracted withdrawal, 10 months of hell, so I don't recommend that route! This is a serious drug!
I reinstated 37.5 mg in June after Remeron did nothing but help me sleep, and only then did I learn about protracted withdrawal. I have since learned that long term use of antidepressants makes us MORE prone to depression; this is scientifically proven, and I think I had been in tolerance withdrawal, which means that you have withdrawal symptoms though the dosage hasn't changed.
So, I have been SLOWLY tapering and am now on 29 mg, and feel better now than I have for years! I will continue the very slow taper until finally off, but it may take a couple of years to get there.
So, if you could answer my questions, I'd love to help

I came off ven for a week 8 months ago and the doctor replaced them with setraline the next day, by the end of day four my husband had to phone a doctor because I was sitting in a corner frightened to come out
The GPS are not sure what these meds do to you cause the aren't taking them themselves and we aren't all the same.
To finish with I think 10 year down the line I will still be on them to.keep the serotonin levels up as this is obviously the problem. Hopefully they will in vent a fat free chocolate full of serotonin.
