I don't think I can ever be weaned off the meds. I tried it, under my T's care. I took over two years to get completely off the meds. Within a month, I was in constant anxiety (which wasn't the case when I was off meds until Luvox, so I wonder if it or any of the other drugs actually caused me to become dependent on them) and my OCD was unbelievably bad. I felt constantly on the brink of a panic attack, and came very close several times. Many of the OCD issues and anxiety fears I'd overcome years before came back like a tidal wave. The OCD is still hell.
