get off of my anti-depressants (read all 4 entries…)
Every other day 4 years ago

I’ve been taking my meds every other day – so far, no side effects and no problems – yet.

Wow..

What a fantastic goal! I would love to do this but I’ve been on them (not that they seem to help much!) for so long that I’m afraid of wicked withdrawal symptoms.

Best of luck!!!

Me too

I’ve been on Paxil for 9 years and I’m so scared of withdrawl – when I found out I was pregnant last year I tried cold turkey and it was horrible -

?

I don’t get it. If not for effexor the life I lead now would be a myth, a dream, completely undoable, and I’m just a teacher with 3 kids and a dog!,
I really want to know why someone would discontinue the use of medication that is presumably, working. Maybe I should reassess.

Personal Choice

For me, it’s about living my life not on meds – for nine years I’ve been using meds. to control my emotions – good and bad. I don’t blame meds for anything in my life – at the time, I really needed something to keep me stable. As I’m progessing with my life and learning how to make positive choices and dealing with my depression/anxiety in other ways (writing in my journal, talking with my family, not being ashamed to let others know what is going on with me). I guess I just feel that if I stay on my meds for depression, the depression is controling my life, instead of the other way around.
