I'm sorry but I totally agree with Sky on this one. I don't think you should have gone off them. You may not need to be on them for the rest of your life but it seems obvious that you need to be on them now. If I were you, I would go back on them and stay on them until I felt I was in a place where I could go off them but then only after talking to my doctor about it. I don't understand why you are putting your body through this when it seems that you do need to be on them. I don't want to be on them either but I know I'm not ready to go off of them yet. Besides, my doc said that I will need to be on them the rest of my life and even though I don't like that idea, he could be right. Worse things could happen. Please, don't put yourself through this anymore and talk to your doctor about this. I really worry about the outcome of you doing this to yourself.
