I would like to thank you for making this thread and I wish you luck. I read your new thread where you explain the titration process that you are undergoing. I have not been here for a while and I actually came here looking for discussion on reasons to stay on my meds. The last time I went to my pdoc, he told me that I would likely end up here. . . wanting to come off because I feel so much better. For me, coming off means unpredictable behavior that seems perfectly logical to me at the time but proves to be reckless to my financial situation and peer relationships. I'm currently working two jobs and can't afford an episode of mania or depression. I have to keep telling myself that. Again, I wish you luck.
