This copy of my posted Yahoo question best explains my seven-month abscence

Why haven't I been able to access my imagination since my severe bout of depression seven months ago?
For many years now I have been on prozac, depakote, and aderall. I made the fateful choice of attempting to wean off the meds seven months ago. Following a severe bout of depression I resumed the meds. But since then I feel as though my mind has deflated. I can barely access my imagination, my ability for critical thinking, my immediate memory, and my ability to concentrate enough to read. My emotions have also changed. I am consistently more apathetic and laid-back about things. I cannot attain feelings of love, devotion and desire. My long-dulled sex drive is now all but nonexistent. It is like my entire brain chemistry has altered. I can almost feel the decrease in electricity flowing. What has happened??? Is this evidence of permanent damage?! I m dying for answers. I would appreciate some sort of educated guesses here. Thank you.

Out of respect for the privacy of the Yahoo users who have been kind enough to provide me with answers, I am not including them here.
