I use to but I have been on many different kinds to get to where I am and even though my depression does not remain in check my mania does and mania caused and cost me sooo much!. I was risky with my life, promiscuous, drinking when I know I am an Alkie, And doing thiings like walking around at night and you know the kind of situations you can get into there!. Now a days I can actually feel when I have forgotten my meds!. Forget night meds; realize I didn't really sleep, forget mood stabilizer; realize I jump up all worried something has happened while I was asleep--very nervous a scarry feeling!. Others, my family notice and I do too now when I have missed doses it shows!.!.!.I feel it!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
I did!. I actually stopped!. NOT recommended unless the underlying cause of the condition is "solved" or "cured"!.
When my psychiatrist recommended meds, I recommended a second opinion!. The second opinion said that the reasoning wasn't faulty, but yes, I needed meds!. I used both sides to stop the meds from being required, and then went and got a third opinion, which said that the reasoning of the second was valid, though the first one was a snap judgment!.
Therefore, I went back onto Lexapro!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

No, I genuinely don't, I just feel so lucky that I was able to find some that worked for me - my brother had to go through 4 different prescriptions before he found something that worked that didn't have a ton of side effects!. If I ever did start to feel tired of it I would think of how sick and tired (and crazy) I would feel if I didn't have them at all!. Www@Answer-Health@Com
there are times when i wish i could go off and i just think i dont want to take something that makes me not who i am but then again i have a lot of those times when i think without them i hate who i am and on them i can be a little bit more apreciative of things!. with my family history i may never be able to get off of my meds so i might as well get used to it and just learn to deal!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
I sure do, as for 30 years I didn't have to take any meds at all!. Now, I have to take meds for Asthma,(oxygen) RLS, GERD, and depression!. However, I still believe that the alternative isn't a doable either!.!.So will continue, for now anyway!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
