Do NOT stop your meds cold turkey !

YIKES

That can lead to some serious S*** !

Wait to see your Pdoc . And please, don't give up on meds just yet.

Many Hugs

well, your more irritable and agitated off meds - that's why they refused you service : )

When you got on the meds, you hated - your friend here, including me - so a positive difference, with humor and joy for you!

It's your decision - but having bad months, even years - meds help, and they helped you a lot.... they are not going to fix you!

So glad the treatment worked and is over ((((BIG HUG)))

I think going cold turkey is a mistake. Not to mention if you have a good working relationship with your doctor you should in all fairness to both of you talk this out with him. If he is reasonable he will still leave it up to you but he may have suggestions. I know I was a hot mess until my doctor got me set up on the right med combination. It only took him a year to convince me......I could of been well a hole year sooner. if these don't work for you I bet anything there is one out there that will.

Cold Bacon is more acceptable roun' these parts

Good to see you Will and please wait to discuss it with your pdoc. I am glad your other treatment went well and I'm sorry you are feeling the way you are right now. I hope you can find a good balance some how... Peace my friend.

i don't know will. it's your call.

i was successful a few years ago. i made it 11 months without any major freak-outs, and i honestly think i'd be off them still if physical issues didn't mess my head.

surgeries and accidents...not good on the noodle.

my thought though, is to not make it a black-and-white kind of thing. decrease slowly and safely, and if there's a blip at any of the stages, you'll know that that is the level of meds you need.

another thing is that most of the northern hemisphere feels like shit for january and february. SAD and holiday crash...definitely my down time of the year, so the bad moods might not be directly med-related.

good luck. glad that you made it through your treatments. if you can gut that out, you can have the patience to ween safely.

Use great care. Ask your loved ones for input, especially during weaning off and off time. Do it with your pdocs input too.

For me, trying to get off meds is disastrous on one level of another. I owe it to my family to stick with it.

Cheers.

Do not go cold turkey. Side effects from doing that. Wait til your pdoc appt. She can always change your dose, change your meds. They are doctors who specialize in psychiatry and medication mgmt. Trust your pdoc and give her a chance.

I Love you baby and don't think it's a good idea to stop cold turkey, you are older now as you had mentioned to me and a lot of chemical changes have taken place over the years ya know??

I know March is a very touchy and triggering month for you and this winter has totally sucked too....long, cold and we've been stuck in some ways but getting out too at the shop which has been great for the both of us!

Pdoc appt isn't that far off and if we stick together on this I think you can make it til then.....if you really feel that you cannot you can always try to get in sooner??

Take the advice of the people that know you quite well here on DS.....I think they've given you the best of the best!!! Love ya! ox

I went off my meds last week...

flippin the hell out now....

not fun, but lack of $$ and a lack of transportation=less chance of me taking them

fuck...i can't get to the doctor...and i can't afford the co-pays

so, i can't sleep or think straight

but i can have sex now....

damn, the web i've woven
