I know I'm not quite at that point yet, but my doctor says that eventually she'd like to take me off my meds. She and my counsellor have said they'll do it gradually, and that at the first sign of depression I can go right back onto the meds -- I don't know why, but I've been preoccupied by this lately. I'm afraid that all the progress I'm making is due to my meds, and I'm afraid of what's going to happen to me when they lower my dose, and I'm afraid of withdrawal -- did that once, NOT fun -- and I'm TERRIFIED of the depression coming back like it was before. I'm managing it now, I'm getting my life together -- what if it all falls apart when they start taking me off the meds? Has anyone done this before? Was it as scary as I'm building it up to be? I don't know why this has started to bug me lately but every time I take a pill I worry about what'll happen when I don't have the pills to fight off my demons.
