I've been through the discontinuation syndrome too, last semester, and it was hell. Pure hell. But then I had some time (xmas break) to work on issues that were really at the heart of the depression and issues I had. Now functioning w/o SSRIs, and passing, but have them at the ready if the depression creeps back in. Really, maybe getting back on them just to finish up might be your best bet, however horrible the withdrawls are later. If you can get through school with them, perhaps its not such a bad option. You aren't this depressed person - your post states that you're a strong, intelligent, passionate person that's being clouded by your current mental state. Another note - please don't sweat the Bs. You are passing. It's almost over. You've made it this far with As. Congratulations. Now release control. You will feel so much better when you do. Trust me, I've been there. When you're getting a job, they're not going to ask you for your grades. Did you get your license? Decent GPA at most? OK. You're fine. Get through this semester however you can - it's almost over! Then you can address getting things straight.
