I did the whole Med merry go round for numerous years, tried med after med. Side effects I would not tolerate and I refuse to be a drooling zombie.. So I researched ,I read everything I could find, I talked to all the med free members I could here on PC .

I spent about 8 months preparing for going med free.

It's not been a picnic.. But I have been med free almost a year now, I have managed okay, Sure I have cycled.. At times I have white knuckled it and rode the waves.

Sure it likely that I will hit a wall and need some pharmacolgy help, but it will be a very very short term deal.

I have huge self awareness, coping skills, support and well my own stubborn self that refuses to let anything stop me from my life and how I want to live it on my terms.

Being med free is a huge deal, it's not something anyone should do unless they are dedicated. Not everyone can manage being med free. You have to weight the pros and cons and see what happens.

Med free is do-able for some people.
