people respond different to things,
Medication is a prominent answer even if it doesn’t cure you. This is a road of recovery not a destination.
For the first four years of my illness, I was on APs/ benzos off and on, I got off APs and managed well without them. For the next two years I was on a antidepressant and a antianxiety medication, off and on the antidepressant.
I’ve been off the antidepression for three months, and the anti-anxiety medication for 2 1/2 weeks. Getting off it was a nightmare of anxiety and stress, and cognitive difficulties.
I haven’t had another psychotic break since my first one. I was psychotic the first three years, supressed symptoms the past two, and managed to re-evaluate and re-interpret these things through therapy.
I don’t know it just feels good not to have to take anything for this anymore, not because it’s a good thing to be off them, I just feel a lot better.
[everyone has to take medication for something everyday]
I’m going to talk to my shrink furthermore about this decision, my relationship with him are on the terms of the ability of living successful, not really about symptoms.
We don’t really overthink things.
I think from here the road of recovery will come from diet and supplements.
I still am a spacious person, but I’m starting to feel like my cognitive abilities are coming back to me after quitting benzos.
I don’t really know why I’m posting this, guess I’m just jipper today and blogging about my current status of things.
