i dont think my psychiatrist is helping me and i dont think a psychiatrist in general will help me drugs dont help and i think i want to go down the path of natural therapy i am even doubting weather or not there actually is something medically wrong with me or if i am just a sensitive person. so for those reasons and more i have decided that in a few weeks i will stop seeing my psychiatrist and i wont start seeing a new one. i am also considering tapering myself off my meds i know this wont be easy but i think it is the right path for me.

Maybe, first see your pdoc this week and let them know what is happening and take it from there. It is a big decision to go off meds and try to treat whatever is going on based on often un-tested natural methods. You are placing yourself at great risk but I do understand where you are coming from. I often want to go off all my meds and hate psychiatry. In the end you need to be safe and right now you are not thinking rationally (based on your previously stated paranoia). Be careful Flutter. See your pdoc, give them one more chance by being completely honest, including your desires to go off meds, and take it from there.

Based on what you've been posting lately, you sound quite symptomatic. I don't think going off meds is the right decision to make on your own, without consulting your doctor. I can totally understand the desire, because I get that too, but the safer thing would be to work with your pdoc towards a med regimen you can live with.

While I understand your frustration with illness and with the limitations of psychiatry, I agree with Wander and with Franz Kafka. Sound advice out of concern for your welfare.

Medication doesnt work and i kind of dont feel like i need it anyway i know i have been dealing with a lot but it is all real stuff and all real concerns how is medication going to help get rid of something that is real. besides pdoc doesnt understand me at all they dont get it plus how can i ever truly be free while on medication. i cant and i also think that maybe i am not sick at all and what if everyone is just trying to control me and they are using medications as a way to do that. i need to be free and i cant do that unless i am med free.

You've been sounding very symptomatic lately. I think it would be best to consult your doctor about this.

I felt EXACTLY the same way three years ago. That my husband and everyone else was just using medication to control me and that they all just couldn't handle the real me. I was manic and ended up a psychotic mess a few weeks later. I believed that people could read my mind and would hurt me once they figured out what a terrible person I was. It was terrifying. I get where you're coming from. And ultimately it is your decision. But what you have been posting recently is concerning. They are not the writings of s well person. I hope you find peace, whatever you choose to do.

I have had the "OMG everyone is trying to control me with meds! " thinking. When I look back I know it is what was furthest from the truth
if you were well right now and decided to work out a safe and healthy plan about going off meds I wouldn't be posting this. Trust me I am not one to push meds but you are very symptomatic at the moment and a small part of you must realize that as you post here. Can you atleast talk to a family member/close friend who you can speak to and figurfigure something out?

This is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.|
