I feel alive again – for all the years I was on anti-depressants, I felt “zombie-fied.” But they did help me through some very tough times, and I won’t doubt that I may be on them again in the future. But for now, freedom from happiness pills is feeling wonderful.

How’d I do it? I weened myself off Paxil, which was VERY unpleasant (dizziness, depression, nausea, etc…). You should talk to your doctor and have them monitor you, not go about it the do-it-yourself way that I did it. From what I’ve heard, it can be dangerous.
