In reply to Medication holiday...really bad day!, posted by blondegirl47 on December 14, 2003, at 13:15:33
Yes!
In the past I would stop all meds cold turky for some number of many days. I would totaly lose my mind, you don't want to hear about it. Walking around naked. The best way to take a holiday, is to take a parcial one. Decress the meds slowly in increments of a week or 2 at a time. Don't go much more than half what you are supposed to take. Keep track of how you feel, and learn what to expect each increment. Then when you feel you need the medicine or have to go to the doctor again, slowly go back up in dose. Maybe even talk to your doctor about the dose level and get a new dose. Thats what I did a few months ago. Worked out for the better.
