Hi AzulOscuro: I wanted to follow up with a couple of additional thoughts here. You mentioned, in your original post, that you're feeling pretty low & showing a more defeatist attitude than ever. I certainly understand the desire to be off of med's. And I think, if one can live one's life successfully without them, that's great. But I do wonder if going off of them, under these circumstances, is the right way to go. Typically I think a person would consider trying to reduce, or discontinue, med's because they're doing well & want to see if they can maintain their level of success without med's.

And certainly, if you're going to try to go off of med's you want to do it gradually, under your doctor's guidance. Even though I'm no longer on psych med's, I do still have a pdoc whom I see periodically, just in case. Also, hopefully you've talked this through with your therapist & s/he is "on board", so to speak. Being off of med's is no picnic either. It's something I struggle with every day. And, to a large extent, I've arranged my day-to-day life so as not to "transgress" my mental health concerns. So, if you have decided to try going the med-free route, please do so carefully & thoughtfully. And keep in mind that if it does not seem to be going well, you can always turn back.
