I thank you all for your responses. I do agree that perhaps I should wait to see what happens. Who knows, perhaps my brain regenerated some much needed chemicals or found new pathways during years of treatment. I haven't being non- medicated with an ad over 15 years. Each time I changed meds there was a period I would be weaning off one and beginning another one simultaneously. On the other hand, my last major episode was so bad I swore I would never go off meds. So I will be cautiously playing it by ear and at the slightest peek from the beast, I'd slap on that patch wihthout any hesitation.
I actually had a great day today then made the mistake of watching The Soloist and it got me so down just thinking about all the suffering mental illness causes. Arrgh, bad choice of movie, nonetheless great perfomances.
Will keep you posted
