I used to stop my meds by myself but every time I did, I would relapse and have really bad anxiety/depression. I've accepted that I need them even though it's a hard thing to accept. I think that's the first step.

The other reason I stopped my meds is because my meds made me gain a lot of weight and that made me feel bad about myself. Are there any side effects from your meds that you don't like? Could that be contributing to your stopping the meds? If so, definitely discuss your concerns with your psychiatrist. There are other meds you can try to avoid certain side effects.

I also dispense my meds on Sunday for the week in a pill box. That way, they're super easy to take at night before bed. I don't even have to think about it.
