Andrew...it is far better to take the medication than to suffer...and perhaps lose your job...due to symptoms of the illness. I took Anafranil myself for several years with no ill effects. I have been taking some form of antidepressant for the past ten years continuously. I have had no ill effects...indeed I would be unable to live a normal life without them! Of course only you can make the final decision...but I strongly recommend going back on Anafranil. If it worked for you before, it probably will again. Luvox is the SSRI most similar in result to Anafranil as far as I know...Cam could probably tell you more.
But it's what works for you that is important!
Good luck. I know you'll have a much better year on medication!
