It sounds like none of your options are great ones. Can you ponder which is the least bad? Like is it worse to go to day hospital or to lose disability?

I can't lose my disability because it's my main income.
He will read the letter on Friday... if he wants to. He is not in the day hospital until then, so I am off meds anyway.
Sincerly, I don't care at getting cold tukey and die or suffer more, what can get worse?

Or whoever is going to be prescribing drugs for you if you don't go back.

Lamotrigine is helping me a lot with mood. I think once I hit the target dosage anxiety will go away, titrating up lamictal can cause you to get anxious and agitated in the middle of the process, and benzos don't help me for this, normally people use benzos for this. Gabapentin alone is not agood mood stabilizer.
