Welcome to My Support Forums, a private online community of emotional and mental health support groups.

Overseen by a caring team of volunteers from around the world. Dr. John Grohol, the founder of the Psych Central mental health site, also founded and continues to oversee this private community to provide a safe, supportive home for people seeking help with a life or mental health issue.

If you look on this thread is a full list of medications I take psych and medical.

I have just never felt so unhealthy in my life. All my meds mix together so I feel like it’s all a toxic explosion in the making. I need to detox off everything I possibly can.

So ... I have a plan to go off numerous meds. I’m doing it carefully , I’m allowing for half life and then the time my brain to adjust sans Med.

My husband will be watching me in case I’m not catching any possible problems.

This is a well thought out plan.

Thanks for explaining. Much appreciated. I wish you all the best in your new endeavour. Me - I’d be too scared.
