@Soupe du jour:

Nice to hear from you. How are you? Thanks for sharing your experience with me.

This may sound odd, but when i've tried to withdraw from my meds in the past, under my doctor's supervision, of course, i've had problems with anger and fear. I fight with everyone. I can't take a bus without fighting with the driver. I can't buy something without fighting with the cashier. I once got barred from a mall for fighting with the cashier over a penny! Ack!

It's not completely clear whether it's due to the discomfort of withdrawal or to the absence of the meds themselves, but it's an awful risk to take. I feel lucky to have stayed out of jail, my behavior has been so bad in withdrawal.

Nammu pointed out that i take small amounts of everything, so i've stopped worrying about the oversedation due to meds. I think it's just a symptom of depression. After all, i used to get up before dawn when i used to get hypomanic. Note past tense. I haven't had problems with hypomania in 18 months, since i stopped taking anti-depressants. I hope that's all behind me, tho i have fond memories of the euphoria.

Drowsing away the day is not ideal, but it sure beats jail!
