I’m pretty sure you can rant in any forum. I know how frustrating it is to find that right combo of drugs that give you the ability to have a full life yet not be a zombie.
PLEASE, please, please DO NOT wean yourself off your medications without proper medical supervision. I hope you have a good doctor that will embrace your right to seek alternative treatment.
I think the irony of mental illness opposed to some form of physical illness or disease is that when we finally find the right combo that works, our first thought is “wow, I feel better! Now it’s time to get rid of the pharmacy.” Whereas if you had an extremely difficult case of diabetes and finally found a medication that got your blood sugar under control, it would be ludicrous to stop taking it.
Sometimes we can quit taking the meds, others it could trigger a spiral that will leave us in a place that was worse than when we started. Where you decide to go with your treatment is entirely up to you, but hopefully you’ll find (or have) a doctor that is willing to respect your wishes and support you every step of the way.
