Oh, Moremi! I'm so sorry you crashed! I know all of us pretty much want to be med free, but most of us just can't do it. I ran out of my trileptal (mood stabilizer) last weekend, because I had a cold and couldn't get to town to get to the pharmacy. Usually this is the last drug I would mess with. Well, I went 5 days without it, and then finally had to ask someone to go to town for me. The withdrawal had me dizzy as a blond (no offense blondies!) and tumbling over flat on my face! I'm still waiting for it to kick in, but now I have all the restarting side effects making it worse.

Long story short, you are not alone, my friend. I'm right here next to you wondering what in the heck was I thinking??? I suspect the meds fool our brains into thinking, Hey, we're fine now, we don't need this stuff that's making us fat, nauseous, dizzy, whatever. Why not stop taking it? So some of us give in, crash, and find out we're better off fat, nauseous and dizzy.

Hang in there, Moremi, and I'll hang in there with you. It'll be better soon.
