Hi Angel,
You ask a very good question and your point is well taken. Why would I want to go off of a medication that is working? I can only answer the question with another question. . . What is it in human nature that makes accepting our disease so difficult? Why can't some people take direction and instructions from other professionals? And can someone answer this - Why do we have to suffer in order to learn to do or not to do something?
I'am glad you are compliant in taking your medications now and that you have accepted that you may have a life-long partnership with medications. Perhaps I shall too. I'am working on acceptance of how things really are, that I have a disease that is treatable, that for now medications are important for my quality of life.
Thank you for sharing your experience, strength and hope for all of us. And most importantly, thank you for sharing something that we all have in common, namely, that the choices we make all have consequences, some good, some bad. Good luck to you, your post was particularly inspiring to me. :) Anne
