It sounds like the migraines are probably from withdrawal.

As far as whether you should get back on them or not, I think that's your choice. If you feel better than you have while you were on them, I'd say stay off them. I've seen that a few times with anti-depressants that actually make someone MORE depressed... and sometimes it makes some people more suicidal with the anti-depressants than without them.

That being said, you may want to think about seeing a homeopathic or holistic doctor to see if they can recommend something natural that may help you. If nothing else, they can probably help the withdrawal... but whatever they give you won't likely have side effects or be addictive like most drugs are.

I'm also hoping that most of that typing you were doing is what is commonly seen as "fast typing" that many gamers use so they aren't taken away from the game too much (no capitalization, little punctuation, abbreviations, not going back and correcting errors, etc). If you were not trying to type fast, you may want to mention that, too. just in case ;-)

It sounds like you better get back on your meds REAL FAST.

Never just stop taking Meds for Anti Depression , If you have trouble with the Meds talk your Dr or the Person whom started you on the Meds. Most meds you take will have the sideeffs , but sometime those are nothing to worrry about unless told other wise. I have depression Myself and had for over 20 some years , So I know a great deal about taking meds and so on. You need someone to chat with or talk to please look me at nighthawk170@yahoo.com
Depression is the # 1 Killer in the Usa right now when it comes to mental health , and More so when pleople start not taking there meds becuse of the side effs.

I'm not familiar with the specifics on that drug, but you do need to be careful and follow directions carefully. You may be having headaches because you stopped completely and then started again. Some drugs require a gradual build up in the system.

If you are questioning whether or not you should be on medication, seek a second opinion. Maybe counseling or some other treatment could work for you -- maybe not. Perhaps a different drug would be better. You need to feel comfortable with your treatment and trust your doctor. But please don't self-medicate!
