not anymore. i was chronic about this when first dx'ed. fuinally my T and pdoc said if i got the urge to stop again they asked me to promise to call the office first. they knew i would keep my promise so that's why they asked. since that time i've never gone off meds except one time i cut out one and went downhill fast...i mean crashing badly. so lesson learned for me. i'm not the pdoc and if i'm going to be treated for the depression that gives me reason to put my trust in him rather than my lack of good sense!!! the meds make us feel so good that we think we are cured. NOT!my mind has a glitch in it thus depression. meds balance out my brain's output. so that works for me.
