Well you've heard my opinion before, but then again, you prob'ly don't remember, cuz likely the main side effect from your drugs is that you have CRS disease now (y'know, Can't Remember S!). I've always thought it's worth it for you to try going off of the pills. Who knows how much they affect your libido too - that's a common side effect (don't know about your specific drug of course, just talking about in general from hearing plenty of Love Line with Dr. Drew). You know how I prefer living au naturale though - no doctor trips unless I have a small amputation or something.
Anyway, really, it seems there's more danger (in going off the meds) for people who are true addicts (no, Star Wars addiction does not count, as hideous as it is), and you're not an alcoholic or druggie, so I think it's definitely worth the risk of seeing how you'll feel off of them.
You know I say too that people get WAY over medicated anyway - life is supposed to be about ups and downs and plateaus, not just one big plateau, which wait, would really be just plains - nevermind, you get the idea. Sometimes sadness can be motivating, if you can handle it properly.
As far as going cold turkey or weening yourself off of them gradually, well that's for people with experience to advise you on - no comment from me on that one.
Whatever the case, you know I'm here for you if ever you're having a tough time.

Now THIS comment makes sense to me. As Wendy knows, I'm not a fan of all this pill popping mania that goes on in this country. Why people seem to think that life has to always be dealt with by popping some pill is beyond me. Life is unpredictable, it has moods, ups and downs, and it just needs to be accepted that life isn't always going to be nice and rosy. People should stop doping themselves up on pills that they don't need, like all these anti-depressants. Have a good cry, a good rant, a good vent, a good temper tantrum, whatever it takes to get past the mood and then just move on already.
Otherwise, you end up with people like my boss' worthless daughter who can't do a thing for herself because she's been coddled by an enabling father who never wants to see her "upset" or "hurt" or "sad." FUCK THAT! All those things are part of life and he doesn't understand how having her pop pills and doing everything for her, even things that by LAW he should NOT be allowed to do because she's over 18, like schedule her OWN DAMNED DOCTOR appointments, is not helping her and is in fact very harmful to her. He's created a worthless human being and it's really pathetic to watch.
I know what Rodcasts are thanks to... that Place That Shall Not Be Named Here! I checked the Stadcasts a few weeks ago and there was nothing since June. I'll look again :)
I do have ups and downs! They're just not quite as up and not quite as down, apparently, though I really don't remember anymore to be sure... CRS disease. *snicker*
Anyway, thanks ♥ I think I at least need to go to the doctor once more to see about getting off of them.
By the way, if you've seen a strange (very friendly) kitty in the house, don't be alarmed. Just another sorta-my-cat. You should like this one though because it's a GIRL.
Yes, because she's not REALLY my cat! She wasn't inside last night and she wasn't around this morning. Hopefully she'll come around tonight, but she's not my cat, so who knows!
The other two sorta-mys are in the house right now, though.
