Thread: When do I come off my antidepressant?

Here is a little background:
When I was 15 I was diagnosed with depression and put on Zoloft (an SSRI) and was on it for several years (I think 8) and gained a significant amount of weight (60lbs!!) and I know not ALL of it was due to the antidepressant, and due to my lifestyle. I tried changing my lifestyle, but it seemed my weight wouldn't budge, so I went and talked to my doctor about going off of it. I started going off of it, and anoticed my depression coming back, and I had already discussed with him that I wanted to lose weight, so he put me on Wellbutrin XL, and over the last 2 1/2 years, I've lost almost all the 60 lbs and then some!!

I started on the birth control pill in February 2010 because I met my current boyfriend. It just made me have such horrible mood swings and anxiety, I finally was fed up and got off of it in the beginning of August. When I stopped, the anxiety got SOOO much worse, that I HAD to do something. So I went to see my doctor and she put me on Celexa for the anxiety (another SSRI) and said I should be on it for at least 6 months (I am still taking the WEllbutrin since its working out for me). I plan to stay on it for 6 months, which means only till February 2011, but I guess my question is:

I've heard Anxiety can be caused by going on or off the birth control pill (and i NEVER had anxiety issues until I started the pill, i swear)...so now that I've had several cycles and all hormones should be adjusted back to normal, do you think it would be okay to come off in February and not have the anxiety return? It's not depression, because there is a difference, so I'm not worried about that. I just never experienced anxiety until I went on/off the pill.

Any thoughts would be appreciated!
