And I've definitely done that (aged that is...)

I have been on antidepressants in the past... sometimes along with a few other psych med's. I'm no longer on anything. I never felt as though they really did me much good. Mostly they just made me groggy. To me, the operative question here is... can you manage to live your day-to-day life (including not continuously transgressing your family members' & friends' personal boundaries) without being on psych med's? If you can do that, then my personal opinion is you're better off without the medications. But if your mental health issues (depression, anxiety, interpersonal problems, etc.) are so troublesome that you simply can't cope, then psych med's are the way to go, in my opinion. I don't know if that makes sense... it's a tough call...

Yes, It makes sense. I'm gonna try to lower the dossage and see if I have enough with therapy.
Thank you. :-)
