Hi AnneMarie,
it is not as simple as you think, if we could stay on meds all life, there would be no problem;
the thing is that after years, one day the meds do no more function(the tolerance or pop-out), your body, after accepting the poison during years do no more accept, then the doctor switches another, it works or not but 2 years after it works no more and here you try each psychotropic, add two different and so on, you become poly drugged, and are not well;
therefore i suffer since years to be meds free and do not regret, being better today and no more hooked at these poisons
it is a personal choice
the forum have been made for people who want be meds free, for the other we cannot help
taken 16 years has modified your chemical in all body, this takes often years to "reverse"
when you are journaling, i also am journaling, it is to help us, to help others, the forum is for this
your symptoms are caused by the chemical changes in your body by the poison
