You're not taking meds because of pdoc's advice?

Different illness will react differently when you stop your meds. It also depends on your state of mind and external factors (i.e. stress). So... if your pdoc tells you to stop then s/he must have faith that your illness won't be in remission anytime soon.

Remember that... you can't be completely "cured" of mental illness. If you're not having symptoms... that's because it's dormant - just like having a herpes virus. It's there but it's not active but it can be active at anytime.

Dear Skittles...... we have talked about this subject many times before and I am still saying the same thing - YOU should not / cannot not STOP taking your meds just because YOU seem to have a few good days.... please keep on taking your meds until you have a good year with out so many ups & down.


LoVe,

Bethsway is right, only time will tell. But you could also talk with your doctor. Do you feel like you need them?

Ok. Promise us that if you begin into the ups and downs so terrible, that you will agree with us NEXT time we think you need to continue your meds?

I sure hope you don't need them, yes that would be nice. BUT if this is such good news, why don't you want to share it with your doctor and get his advice?

(((hugs)))

skittles I just realized...was this your own idea to give up meds? or was your doctor in on it? You should let him know if he doesn't already...just so he can be prepared to know how to help you in case you crash! I am rooting for you and hope all goes well!!! (((((((((((((skittles)))))))))))
