typical duration of treatment?

Posted by jessers11581 on June 17, 2005, at 16:16:02

Hello all! I'm curious to see how long (i.e. number of years) that people have been on psychiatric medications. I've been using them since 1997 and I often get upset and worried about the fact that I've been taking something for so long. I feel that I should be able to go off at this point, but every time I try, I turn into a complete basketcase and make the lives of all those around me a living hell. So then I just end up starting my AD again. Is this typical? I hate the side effects (especially the lack of libido and general emotion) but the withdrawal is terrible. And I also notice that I feel less confident and worry more about things when I'm not taking my meds (gotta hate that). I can't stand to think that I might be one of those people who has to be medicated for the rest of her life...but I'm starting to believe that may be the case. Is this OKAY?? I don't know what I should do.
