so that's where i'm at today. i sure don't feel my meds are helping at all, at all. i'm in the third month of a withdrawal from Seroquel and at this point all i feel my meds have done for me over 25 years is make me a fat addict. now i still have the same intensity of mood swings but just have to go to Overeaters Anonymous and when i can get to a benzo taper i'll have to go to Narcotics Anonymous. i'm thru with meds but will do a careful cautious withdrawal under my doctor's care and supervision and approval. it will probably take a few years to get rid of all the meds. i know from experience to go slowly with tapers.
Sorry about your physical struggles and loss of your PIN, etc. You do sound manic. I think we lose things more and get these big ideas about stopping all our meds forever when we get that way. Not that there is not a place for changing our drugs, it is just that sometimes we make unwise medication and drug choices when we are manic. Be careful about changing things when you are feeling this way. Take care of yourself and remember to be careful!!!
