nervous breakdown

The past couple days I have tapered off my anti-depressants because I thought I didn't need them anymore, now I am in this chronic state of anxiety with feelings of dread, I don't feel comfortable in my own skin, I cant stand this existence.  Benzos work for about a half hour then it wears off and the anxiety come back ten times stronger. I am afraid I am going to become catatonic.

That's what I figured was going on, you were tapering too fast. I'm so glad to hear your feeling better. You can always talk to your Dr about a tapering schedule if you feel your ready to come off your meds.  Remar

It sounds like you may be tapering way too fast. Are you doing this with the help of your Dr, did he/she give you a tapering schedule? It sounds like you need to call your Dr and get back on your meds for right now. Sometimes we feel so much better on our meds we think we don't need them any more. Either your not ready to come off them or your tapering too fast. Please give your Dr a call as soon as you can. Keep us up to date on how your doing.  Remar
