"I wouldn't advise going off meds maybe just changing a few around or something."
Yeah, I wouldn't recommend it either, and neither would my dr- it was 2 months after I came off them that I saw her (), although my nurse knew within a couple of weeks. I had planned to wean off them but just went cold turkey... and didn't even get withdrawls from it too badly- just what I would get if I missed a couple of doses. My dr would like me to be back on something but respects my wish at the moment to stay off meds...

"I have so many regrets for the pain I caused my family as a teenager on thoough my 30's."
I know that had I been diagnosed with depression 6 years before I was life would have been so different- for the better. I often think about that.
