It was 3 months of crazy, exhausting cycling, and I questioned my decision at one point, but intuitively just knew I had to stick it out. I hear very slow tapering like Anika did is much kinder on your psyche, so I will repeat her advice: "Slow and steady wins the race".
I'm not preaching anti-med words, but I'm very glad I got off meds, it just wasn't the right path to healing for me. I was sicker than I ever was and probably would've been very ill for a long long time had I not A) Been fed up with side effects and B) been self-aware enough.
