**Under no circumstances did my T recommend this**

What she did say was that she's had many clients go off all meds during trauma work w/ the help & ongoing supervision of their Pdoc. Some secondary problems can be from the trauma & she said she'd support me if I wanted to go this route.
Have you ever heard of this?? Tried it?

It was a shock to me & made me a bit angry. I've been depressed all my life. I started meds when I was 19yo. Throughout my 20-30's I'd ask my Pdoc about going off meds. Each one of them would get angry & in the nicest way possible basically told me that I'm the type of person that'll be on meds for life so get used to it.

This has thrown me for such a loop. I know many people in my immediate family that would be very upset if I went off meds but if I discuss it w/ my current Pdoc & she agreed would I have the guts to go w/o them? Guess the big question is what does my Pdoc think.
Has your T suggested anything like this to you?
