Question Rapid Cycling or Just Not Severely Depressed?

This is probably stupid to ask this, since I KNOW I have OCD about mental health and have been diagnosed with anxiety, OCD, and depression, but I need reassurance and am going to ask anyway. Okay, I take Trazodone for depression and anxiety and I have not taken it for two weeks due to an inner ear disorder I have, as it increases my dizziness. I noticed that I became progressively more depressed since going down on the dose and then not taking it, and for the past few days, I have been pretty moderately depressed, have not wanted to get out of bed, and have not wanted to do anything/talk to anyone. Today was especially horrible. Right now, I'm in a good mood though, and it makes no sense to me. I keep thinking, "Why am I in a good mood? I'm DEPRESSED. I'm not SUPPOSED to be in a good mood." That, I know, is my OCD speaking, but the intelligent, suspicious side of me tells me that I have a right to be worried because depressed people don't just suddenly get in a good mood. I have been chatting on the computer the entire night with a pleasant person, but still, it makes no sense to me. I keep telling myself that there aren't any RULES to being depressed, but can one be depressed most of the day, and then suddenly feel a little bit better or is this considered rapid cycling? Thanks for calming my anxious mind

I'm sorry I didn't reply to you before but my memory seems to be getting worse and worse!
One of the side effects of Trazadone withdrawal can be sleep disturbances.
That may very well be what's causing your difficulties since you mentioned you had that you had stopped taking it.
Next step is probably a call to your doctor's office - Let us know what happens!

Thanks, HoosierBJ That most likely IS my problem. I'm going to start taking Trazodone again since my dizziness has subsided enough to do so right now, and I'll let you know how I feel. Thanks so much for replying This happened to me another time, about a year ago and it SEEMED to coincide with me not taking the Trazodone anymore, but my doctor seemed to think that taking or stopping Trazodone wouldn't bother me in the least and that I probably wouldn't feel any difference, but I beg to differ since that definitely seems to be the problem. Take care
