Hi Berries --Like the others, I've experimented with this (reducing, not even eliminating), and it did not go at all well. Relate? Oh yeah.

Something struck me in reading your post... let me just throw it out there, ok? The overarching theme here seems to be about control. It's nice (and essential really) when there are folks watching out for us but it can feel a bit overbearing when every little thing feels like it is being scrutinized, you know? Maybe if you were able to talk with them about dialing it down a bit, you wouldn't feel so externally controlled. The meds though are more of an internal control that help _you_ manage better. You. Yourself. In showing diligence about taking them (ie. showing responsibility and self-care), the others might feel more reassured and back off a bit. Might feel more like cooperation than control then. Worth a shot.
Does this make any sense? If not disregard... my mind's been more than a little off lately.
