Why did you stop your meds and do you still have them?

Do you mind if I ask why you stopped taking meds??...can you see your doc to try and ward off the crash?..x

hi ,did you try meditation and cbt ?
we can chat if you want.

why did you stop your pills ?

I guess your not around so (((((((HUGS)))))) for when you come back.

Sorry i was finishing a paper. i stopped my meds because i hated the side effects and i didnt like not being able to get manic. i still have them. ill see my dr next week. maybe ill ask her for something for anxiety.

veryblue: Im doing cbt now...i have a therapist and behavorist in that field. i havent tried meditation.

thank you guys for replying

Can you start your meds again at least until you see your doc? How long have you been off them? Depending on what you take (what do you take?) you could be risking serious withdrawal symptoms. I had them last year, SICK SICK SICK SICK SICK for 10 days. Pure misery. I'm never going off my meds again. I just worry for you. x

thats not the way it workes..ur brain accepted your meds the 1st time..and if you dont waite to long it may help you again..but the reasons peple stop a med after there stable is beond me..to me a side effect only lasts for very short duration compared to say deppreshion!!!!!!! i agree i would love to see manic,,but to be maninc as you may or may not no,it comes with a big price tag of deep deppreshion..get with your pdoc and get back on your meds!! if you were funhional with the mes then,,then they were doing there job..kinda wondering what meds you were on..thanks

Been there and done that. It never seems to work out for me though.

I hope you get to feeling better honey. What side effects were you having that were so bad that you wanted to stop taking your meds?

ive been off my meds for a month....i dont wana go back on them...i was taking risperdal..now i just take wellbutrin.
