Hey guys.
I’m wondering if any of you have managed to come off medication and if you started losing weight when you came off it.
I’ve put on 5 stone since I stated my meds, but my weight has finally stopped going up. I’m up for review in the summer and I’m hoping to come off my meds. Tbf I think if they don’t want me too I’ll ask to be tapered off anyway…
Every time I stopped my meds I lost weight, but unfortunately
I ended back up in the hospital.
I’ve gained weight on meds and lost weight while stopping but every time I have nearly lost my mind.
Well that’s what I wanted to hear, shame about you guys falling ill again. Mental illness is a ■■■■■■■ ■■■■■■■.
Did you guys manage to get/or near as compusmentus as you were before you got ill, then just became sick again? Or did ■■■■ happen to you, etc ?
Basically am I just going to start hallucinating and think people are dicks to me and ■■■■ when I come off my meds?
I’ve lost it when I have gone off my meds. Now I just assume that the grass isn’t greener.
It is possible for a small number of people to go meds free after a period on meds. I got off meds for almost 5 years and I only relapsed because of taking drugs (biggest mistake of my life). I’m trying to go meds free again but I need a few years on meds first before I start the taper down.
