> I quit my meds once, too.

I did too. Nothing happened. I did not feel any different.

Later I started on them again. Essentially they had no effect. I finally did decide to quit and resist people's attempts to get me back on them. No psychotropic medication I have ever taken (probably 20 or more different ones) ever helped me more than a tiny bit; some made things worse.

I now have a good therapist and am exploring frightening things from my past. It has made a lot of difference.
