So I’m newly diagnosed. Like 3 months ago. Struggling to get stable, dealing with lamictal side effects and weaning that down while ramping up Latuda that is working great. I go see my Tdoc and she says maybe in a year or so I can go off meds. What the...? I’ve had this all my life. I’ve done the reading. I need meds. I hate needing them, but I’ve comw to accept it. If I go off them and have a big episode, there goes my career and ability to support myself. I saw my Pdoc and as I thought, he said that was a very bad idea.

I thought my Tsoc was pretty smart. Now I’m not so sure. Feeling uncomfortable about her.
