I've never quit any med, cold turkey. I think you need to talk with your tdoc, asap! You have had a horrible shock and need help! You need help with how to deal with your kids, too.
I will be praying for wisdom and peace for you!
hugs to you!

I would jump back onto half of your meds right now. That is if it has been a few weeks already. Then after things have calmed down I'd slowly cut back over the months until I was off of it.

I don't understand why you want off of your meds? Your exhusbands death is not your fault.

Holy shit girl! I'm so sorry you're having to go through ALL of this!!
Yeah, all of your symptoms sound about right for going off those meds cold turkey! Knowing what I know about going off those, I'd be too scared to do so.
I don't know how long it will last, but I'm more concerned with how you'll deal with real life without meds.
Of course, you know yourself the best, but I sure hope you have a therapist to speak with at least!
This grief you are going through is too much for anyone without help - let alone someone like us.
God bless you sweetheart. Again, I'm so sorry. I really wish you'd seriously consider going back on meds.

You can neither give life to someone, or take life from them. It is in God's hand not yours.

I am so sorry to hear about your situation...Poor you and kids...As for quitting your meds....not really a good Idea...I have been off and on my meds for about for years and everytime I quit I feel like sht! you probably need to reach out to someone close to you for support and get some perspective after this terrible shock. good luck to you

Unless you just stopped your meds, do not just start at the dosage you were at! You'll have to titrate up.
This is why it's imperative to contact your pdoc. please.

I appreciate your responses - am seeing nurse on tuesday - just cant talk/relate to anyone - dont like ppl around me. Was hoping to dissappear into hypomania a bit and get away from everyone!

Quitting your meds cold turkey is one of the worst things you can do.

had horrible withdralw smptoms from geodon lasted a while. however i do not suggest you stop meds cold turky like that and talk to your doc first.

In april I did this same thing and felt wonderful for about 3 months and then the symptoms started again. I went as long as I could without the medications to prove to me that I did not need them> Stupid I know but I am back now and groggy and such, but it is better than all the anxiety I was having.

i know you have heard it from everyone but GO BACK ON YOUR MEDS....this is one of those things that can push you over the edge...it can make you psychotic....we have all already got our feet in some crazy arse doors....dont push yourself any further....

Everytime I make the decision to get off my meds., it ends up being a bad decision. just my experience
heartfelt condolences

you shouldn't quit your meds. You should listen to your doctor he/she is educated for a reason

where are you my love?? we want to hear from you....xoxox
