    I am desperately hanging on...I don´t want to do something stupid.

    I have been dealing with anxiety and moderate depression, but since a few days ago, depression is overwhelming.

    This is definitely a wave and it's only temporary. It's very often that the window will be followed by such worsening. Also, even a small change in your daily routine (diet/supplements) may add to it. Did you change anything recently?

    Alex – during that 5 – 9 month period post-taper, I was severely, severely depressed. The same thing happened both times I got off the Paxil. It has never been like that any other time before or since. There is some kind of chemical reorganization that happens then. We still don’t know what it is exactly.

    It was so bad that I thought I would really have to commit suicide if it didn’t end. I really didn’t want to die, but I could not go on forever like that. But it did end. And I’ve had surprisingly little depression in w/d since then.

    I also wrote to you in the Spanish forum.
    Meds free since June 2005.

    "An initiation into shamanic healing means a devaluation of all values, an overturning of the profane world, a peeling away of inveterate handed-down notions of the world, liberation from everything preconceived. For that reason, shamanism is closely connected with suffering. One must suffer the disintegration of one's own system of thought in order to perceive a new world in the higher space."

    I´m hanging on.Surprisingly, after the powerful extreme wave, I have some relief.

    It is incredible the extreme emotions I am dealing with.

    I have been thinking so strongly about death, that Sometimes I feel like an allien in the reality around me.Really really scary.

    The question is: what next?
