When I look back now I wish I hadn't done it. It was an awful experience and set me back by months on the road to stability. I've just come out of hospital after a wobble for which PTSD was to blame..it threw my mood all over the place but although I'm not out of it, I know deep down that the meds will be the answer. Don't get me wrong I'm still in the mindset that I should be able to cope without drugs but maybe I'm not always right??
No one can make the decision for you including the doctors (unless you're sectioned) but make sure you're fairly stable before you make a decision like this. And do discuss it with the doctors..they'll give you an honest opinion of how they think you are and if appropriate will give you the support to come off the meds.
Hope this helps in some small way
