I've been on meds for many years, and I'm afraid to stop taking them. I've experienced terrible withdrawal when switching meds, and it scared me big time. Also, with the bouts of serious depression that I've been in over the last couple years, I'd be afraid to know what that would've been like without meds. During my last terrible low, my T was pushing to have me get my meds adjusted...and my T HATES meds...I ended up coming out of the depression without adjusting the meds...but it just scares me. I have no plan at this time to come off the meds...although with the idea of losing my job and possibly not having medical insurance, it might have to happen....Yikes.
