In reply to Getting OFF the meds, Anyone else doing it?, posted by BenzosSSRIsohMY! on August 22, 2007, at 17:08:19
I would love to get off meds, but every time I try I am defeated by insomnia and anxiety that is right off the charts. I literally go for days on end without sleep until I either take a pill or end up in emergency (where they just give me more pills and send me home). A lot depends on how ill you were before you started taking pharmaceuticals...some people with mild to moderate symptoms should never have been put on meds in the first place. If your symptoms were minor, you may able to step off meds without too many problems. If they were major, don't expect your issues to simply go away. If I had to do it all over again, I wouldn't touch psychotropic meds with a barge pole. I have told my daughters to steer clear of these substances no matter how bad things get.
