Better on drugs, or off of drugs?
I've been taking my medicine ritualy for 3.5 years now. My life is prity boring, I'm faily succesfull though. I wounder if I'd be happier off meds?
I take all this medicine and still I'm not happy? Why? I should ask my shrink, but I don't have an appointment for 2 months, sorry. He started to take me off one of my meds last year. I got too anxcious and insisted on stoping right away, so I did, and I relapsed. I wonder if I would have better luck this time, I just can't see it happening. Still I not happy. The drugs make me feel great, and a sort of comfort to take, but at times I want off them? Would I have better luck getting off them now if I took it slow, or would I loose my new job with the free medical care, instead of my fathers plan? I want to try but afraid of what might happen. What do you think??? I take Zyprexa 10 mg (this is the one I was supposed to come off, last year), Celexa 60 mg (now, was 40 at the time as it was just increased as the Zyprexa was going down), and Wellbutrin (just added recently to counter the side-effects of the others).
Anyways I'm interested to hear what you would think, I will talk to my doctor first so don't be worried about me. Thanks! I use to injoy life now I don't (sorry to sound so negative).
