I've been on Prozac, then added wellbutrin, then stopped prozac, added cymbalta all in the past 5 years or so. I've been going to therapy for the past year and once I realized my BPD and deeper issues, I've been thinking that maybe the medicine isn't stopping my depression because it's situation triggered. I also gained a lot of weight on antidepressant for a lot of reasons even like feeling better and making friends and eating to socialize with them. But I also started having thyroid and insulin problems (which run in my family but I didnt have before), and so while I was focusing on mental health my physical health went down the drain which cause more problems.

My psychiatrist upped my Cymbalta to 90mg, and he said that the medicine helps chemical depression, not situation based. It feels like my meds have been a tourniquet to the bleeding that was the BPD and once the bleeding stops, and my wound heals, I wont need the meds since they will just continue to restrict blood when I need that for my healthy arm or whatever.

TL;DR: Has anyone weaned off meds after BPD remission and found it a good decision? Did you have to go back on?
