Hey Poet,
I'm dysthymic too, and what you say rings so true for me.
Been off the ADs since Jan and stuff at work is really taking a toll on me of late. To use daisym's analogy, some days it feels like people row out to me just to club me with an oar. But the truth is I spend way more time beating myself up than others do.
Honestly I'd stick with the T and the meds if they're helping. There's no point in risking a major crash when support is there to help get you to a point where the 'situation' has changed and it may be safer for you to come off. I say this because my post AD experience has been that my moods/mental state have been much more volatile than they were pre AD.
Please take good care of you, and if someone throws you a rope or offers you a life jacket grap it.
