My husband has been on various medications for the past 8 years for depression and anxiety. In August he took himself off of one of them and in December the rest. His Pdoc helped him wean off the second one although I do not know if this was recommended by her or that she helped because he was determined to do it. Either way, he is no longer on any medications. In his opinion he is "thinking clearly for the first time in a long time" due to being off meds.
Now I have read alot on this subject and realize it is common for people to want to stop meds. My question is how feasible is it that he truly doesn't need them? Because in my perspective he is worse off now than he has been in a long time behavioraly and emotionaly. But he of course thinks he is doing brilliantly.
