So, I posted a few days ago that I adjusted my medication to less than half of what is prescribed. Tomorrow will be a week since I first made an adjustment. Today was the first day that I have kind of felt like I might need the other meds. The information that I read about coming off meds is that a lot of people will get to a point where they begin to have withdrawal symptoms and they will think they really need their meds when they just need to wait it out. I am hoping this is the case with me. I wonder how long I will have to wait.

I'd called my case manager the other day to tell her what I was doing. She did not answer so I sent her a text message. She never responded. Maybe because she was supposed to say, "Be compliant." I don't know. I have not told anyone close to me what I am doing. I figured if I tell them, they will be looking for reasons to tell me to go back on my meds. If I don't tell them, then they may not notice.

I'm beginning to have some of the anxiety and overwhelming thoughts. I hope this passes. I really want this to work.

I feel like I don't really have anyone that I can talk to about how I feel. I wish I could tell my best friend so that we could talk about it. Feels kind of lonely.
