If you do decide to stop your meds, definitely do it WITH the doctor's assistance...(I say this because I stopped cold turkey after 8 years WITHOUT a doctor because I felt they weren't working, and without going into detail, I wouldn't recommend it.) But if you want to be OFF the meds, and the particular Pdoc you are going to won't help you, FIND another one! (if you can, I know that can be a chore...)

I am not on meds now, still, as I am afraid to start back up since stopping the way I did messed me up...but I too have my weeks/days like that. It's like a weird cycle. Anyway, When I find myself depressed, I will look up stupid things on YouTube, or funny pictures on the internet. I watch America's Funniest Home Videos, sometimes, that helps because it is so silly and dumb things going on that it makes me laugh...

Writing has helped me, but not journaling, really, I like to write poetry, which helps.
I don't really know what kind of therapy I go to, it's individual and we talk, so I guess talk therapy? I hope some of these suggestions helps?

(the games forum here helps me distract too...)
