Well, being off my meds did not last long. My psychotic symptoms returned. I am now in the process of ramping back up my antipsychotic med. I really thought I was going to make it without them this time, so I am a little disappointed. Right now, my goal is to stay on my meds and out of the hospital. So, I am here, hanging on…hoping things will get better soon.

Trial and error I guess is the name of the game at times with the meds and the symptoms. Maybe now is not the right time to be off them, but that doesn't mean that in the future you won't be able to say goodbye to them. You were brave to give it a try. I'm sorry it didn't work well for you. Good luck getting evened back out and I hope you feel better very very soon.  sabby |

I'm sorry that the no meds option didn't work out. But at least you recognized that, and went back on the meds before getting into a serious downward spiral. If you're feeling bad about needing meds - don't. It took me a long time to accept but I've now accepted the fact that I'll probably need psych meds for life. It doesn't make us bad people, it just means that we have treatable illnesses that require medication. Hang in there. Splitimage

Oh Sweetheart, if you only knew how many times I tried to go off all of my meds!!!!! Actually, I have lost count. I can tell you, though, that I am off of everything but an antidepressant and Klonopin as far as psych meds. Now, all the others have been replaced with hormones and stomach meds. I hope that you aren't berating yourself. I took lots of courage and bravery to give it a try. Maybe next time.... Hugs and Love Wrapped in Peace, Sherri Peacemaker |

Hidey,HO,Hiedy,HO---I'm sorry that the med/stop didn't work as well as you had hoped and I wish the best for you at this point in your endeavours to become med free. Its a idea that's contrary to most p-docs. Although there is some promise if you; 1. A mental illness Of 1-3 yrs. 2. medication review every 4 mths. 3. You've been on meds for a short duration and very little/medium doses. Please make an effort to discuss your feelings about your meds with all seriousness to your caregivers. Thanks. DB

 . Hey DepMe ,,, Yea the come off meds thing can be OMG weird and wild . Emotions waking up and all.......My Situation included a double edge sword..Liver problimes of the chronic type. And the med that did the best for me mentally ,,, was physically detremental at a greater cost to my longevity. Choose errrrrrr meds gave me a choice.........? It wasn't till I weaned myself off after around 2 years on this one med. And I tried alot of alternatives...........meds .,,,,,,,,,,,Kept having blood drawn and watching enzyme ( ? ) numbers indicative of progressive liver damage. And they showed up as HTOH abuse... I knew better,,, ( Sober thing back then ) doh.  .....Point I am trying to make is ,,,yes coming off meds is major OH OH ..  And alot of extra baggage that has been in storage. ((( I am saying from my experience ))) . DepMe....... How ever it works for ya,,,,, .gif) Take Care.
