hi jleigh, welcome to PC!
does your doc know that you're off meds? i guess what we can do is list out the pros and cons.. and if you think that your health is more important, then i think you'll know what to do. are you in T? maybe T would be more helpful for you.
i find the sedating meds activating for me and the activating meds sedating. so i'm kinda opposite.
hoping you'll find the right answer for yourself.
