> has anyone ever gone off their drugs completely after being on them for 8 + years and done it successfully.
>i think it depends on what drugs you were on. Benzos are particularily hard to quit, and when i tried the side effects are so bad i just gave up. But a lot of people who have gone through therapy realize a lot of their anxiety/depression is caused by negative coping skills, and drugs won't help with this. I think the only two disorders who sincerely NEED drugs are those that are schizophrenic and bipolar disorder.
P.S. it would help if you would list what drugs you took.
