My idea of success, is to feel good enough to do what I need to do, instead of being curled up on the couch. Also, where I don't have suicidal thoughts and enjoy life again.

The thought of not being on meds is scary for me because I know that they stand between me and the thoughts of death. I do not beleive in a cure only times where we are close to normal for a while, but it almost always come back.

Also, if you decide to go off your meds be sure to check with you psychiatrist first. You will need to taper them down.
