I'd post this on the meds board, but somehow it does not belong
the truth however, is that I am bound to them at the moment....it would be unpleasant for me- simply by virtue of the "discontinuation" effects I would suffer
and to be truly awake and alert and feeling every little bitty thing...well it makes me want to go into a tailspin and I haven't even gotten there yet
'what if?', I say, now this is only 'what if?' (for the purposes of my imagination), I went off the wretched things? what then? I'd most likely get thinner. but then again what if nothing?...it could be just nothing...temporary uncomfortability then full on living- imagine it
now I don't expect I could throw them all off at once - although the wicked thought has crossed my mind ;-)
one at a time however
I could pretend like I was on a roller coaster...that eventually it'd all be over, and I'd be back on solid ground
sounds good then
have a nice day :-)

It has taken me a full year off meds to get over the intense fear and anxiety that my brain chemistry, withdrawal and expectations alone caused.
I've recovered from the meds enough to begin to wonder "How could the right med, administered correctly and taken in the proper spirit, get me back on track? some track, any track."
I'm glad I'm not taking meds, but I wish it had been "The Answer" to get off of them.

I'm old and beginning to think that meds aren't my problem it's physical like my PHD and other pdoc I saw said as I feel worse daily. Don't want to do a thing or go anywhere just sleep. And now the antibiotics for what they think is a spider bite. I feel horrible. Love Phillipa

yeah... I don't know what "the answer" is, but it isn't this, the meds gave me something, but they have their own problems
something's got to change, but I don't know what yet
thanks, and best of health to you

Hey SG
You wanna tell us about what Lamictal does for you?
I'm curious.

you know, I really can't tell
at first I think it made me agitated...now
I take it, but I can't honestly tell you if it's affecting me at all
