I had to stop my meds. They made me feel foggy minded. I would try to say something and I couldnt think of the word or words. I didnt do it out of haste .But I just couldnt handle being like this anymore. No I havent told my T or my pdoc.I am scared that if I do , I will end up back in the hospital. And I dont want to be thought of as a failure either. I dont know what else to do.

I would suggest calling your T or pdoc and tell them what you are experiencing. Then they can adjust your medication accordingly.

I'm not one for pushing meds; I only take them if I'm in a really bad place. You shouldn't just stop them all at once though. Some of them require that you taper down the dosage.
You should call you doctor to at least get instructions for tapering down the dosages. Maybe he can find something that wont give you all the side effects. They can't put you in the hospital involuntarily unless you are dangerous in most places. I know that drill all too well. Take care of yourself! gem

You have asked me a to make a promise to you about this topic and I will abide by it, but it is very dangerous to stop meds cold turkey. I am concerned for you.
Hugs, Jan
