Hey Wendy, good point. They say if you're depressed then pain hurts worse, so I agree with you that when your pain is high would be a bad time to go off anti-depressants.
I've tried several over the years, the most recent was wellbutrin, this one worked really good for me and was easy to stop taking. They are all so different though, and I really think quitting them should be closely monitored by a doc.
Thanks for your words.
