he'd take me back the way I was without meds. OMG
I'm doing rather good on the drugs, living pretty normal and he said, I don't have the same flare... Omg again So, what do I do , I do miss the flare part too, I just don't miss the not living in reallity. I'm able to stop taking the depression drugs when 3 month is up , i think doc would do but the other one is for life so T said. For psychic problems, and now realitiy is so better, hmmmm but yup flare is gone. I thought these drug would help more with DID but only with the switches |

What the heck do you mean by lack of flare? Less drama? Less zest? He likes the turmoil better, normal is now boring? I don't understand this.
How do you see the meds as being beneficial to your everyday living? Are you willing to give up the benefits to please another person, is that what you are trying to decide? sorry for being dense, Judy

When I was on anti-depressants about 7 or 8 years ago, right after my hysterectomy, I too was told he'd rather be with me without the medication. He didn't use the word "flare" but I know what you mean--the sparkle, the zip, the me. However, I don't deal with the dissociative disorder, but I know how that would make me feel--just like you do. Confused --because you miss that part, too, but you need the day to day functioning, the living in reality. Is there perchance another medication that you could try that wouldn't dull the flare but still keep you in reality? I'm so sorry that you are going through this. Talk to your doctor and explain to him/her.

dear shadow,
the only thing i do not understand is - do the meds help you live in a more real and level and functional way? is your h trying to say that he thinks the way you are without medicine is more "interesting"? unless i misunderstood it seems that he is saying "forget your mental stability, i rather enjoy the colorful way you are without your meds". if i am correct that is a very selfish position for him to take. real love wants what is best for the other guy first and my own self second. i do not know many people who will admit to preferring mental and emotional instability because it adds zip to their lives. the one, most important question you must answer is "what is the best and healthiest thing for me to do"????????? zip is a distant 2nd place as questions go!!! please do what is best for your health and stability - especially if you have children or wish to have them. i care about you. leslie and the pixies
