Your doctor has training and, hopefully, experience. My drugs make me anxious too but everything in this life has risks! If something bad happens--you will deal with it then. In the meantime--are you suffering less? Is your quality of life better than before? (It sounds like it is.) Also, tell the doctor about your specific worries. Mine dropped my dosages when I told her. In my own personal situation, I sometimes experiment with skipping doses for reasons like--improving sex, weight, etc but it alway causes problems for me when I try to get off my drugs. I don't know if I need them because of my brain chemistry or because my brain chemistry is messed up because I started down this psych drug road but I am not sure we can ever go back to the way life once was. Life doesn't work like that. Oh well. One day at a time.
