BirdDancer That's awesome that you were able to reduce your meds that much congratulations! Mine would not be onboard for me to do that now Not now but she seems to hate medication as much as I do.
Blue bicycle I'll answer a few of those questions others I don't know the answer to. I'll answer it as in the last time I re-started meds. why did you go on meds in the first place and why have you continued taking them? It was that or the hospital and I stay on them to avoid the hospital. It avoids fighting at home too. why do you want to go off them now? I currently have no ill effects. I don't want to develop any and I don't want to rely on anything. Especially that I can't pay for out of pocket.
You withold information from your providers and have difficulty speaking at times. That might be a roadblock to effectively partnering on a strategy to reduce your meds. I try really hard not to with hold information but T won't read my letters. So it's incredibly hard for me to share my most ****ed up ness. I don't know my emotional patterns and charting often leads me to look like I'm doing better than I am.
