My Stupid Idea
In response to your question, Reba. I decided to stop taking the antidepressants for the same reasons that schizophrenic homeless people on Law and Order decide to stop taking their meds. I FELT BETTER! ;p I was so happy in Georgia, so happy with Paul, so happy in general, that I thought, hey, I must be better! So I asked my doctor and he kind of concurred, he said that I seemed capable of handling the ramp down, he knew too that I was engaged and told me to warn my fiance, which I did, and the three of us thought it would work. It did not. It is awful. Awful. I can't believe that I lived through so many years of this. I'm managing now because I know I will be okay again in a few weeks or days, but before...its truly a wonder that I'm not dead.

Connie decided to check with both her doctor and her therapist to see if she could stop taking her antidepressant medication and was told that with the holidays coming up, and the family losses having to celebrate the holidays without those people, not to even think about getting off meds until after the first of the year. Then, I will have to be weaned off of them or they will give me some nasty side-effects. I'm really surprised that your doctor, knowing that you're relocating to a new town, taking up housekeeping with your "new" man, and leaving all familiarity behind, that he/she would figure it's okay for you to get off your meds now. I would have thought that he/she would have wanted you to continue for a slight adjustment period, and then go off them. Huh?
