Miguel'smom,

May I speak bluntly and from experience. You are going to take yourself off the wrong drug, as I did and it's going to throw you into such a psychotic episode, just as it did me, and the only thing you will want to do is die to get away from the psychosis. I attempted suicide twice after stopping one drug once. You're playing Russian Roulette. These drugs are serious chemicals! Please realize these medications are not a cure, they are only to help manage our symptoms. The rest is up to us. Make good decisions for yourself and for your family.

For anyone reading this post: Many of the drugs for mental illness require admission to a detox clinic to get off them safely. Don't believe any methods you read online, or supplements being sold to help you get off your meds safely & w/o side effects. I was using these supplements at the time I tried to stop mine. They are just trying to sell a product. They do not work!!!!!!
