So I was doing really well. Therapy for OCD is going great and my new medicine is working out. I did have some drowsiness issues, so my doctor recommended trying to stop my other medicine, which I have been on several years. I only take a small dose of this medicine, and it does make me groggy in the morning after taking it at night. I felt confident enough to give quitting it a try. Well, a day after I stopped, I started getting real anxious again. I tried to steel myself into just giving it a week off the medicine, and I held out for the night. But, ultimatelly, I failed. I started back on it. Now, I still feel the remnants of last night's anxiety, and I also feel like a bit of a wimp. I had a couple people supporting me in my effort to stop the medicine, and I am sure they will understand, but I feel bad about telling them.
