Going off meds can be an option for some. I know there is a tendency in this country (and maybe the world?) to slap on a diagnosis and meds to people who may just be going through a rough patch in their personal life. If you do go this route and either go off meds or get your GP to prescribe, just be very careful. The best treatment is to get you back on your feet and functioning with the least amount of intervention possible by the medical community.
