It’s understandable to want to come off these meds. Let’s face it - some of them can suck.

But like you say off meds is also unpleasant and potentially risky

I don’t know how much of this ive caused myself from excess worry?

Maybe its biology as well as psychology because ive a nervous disposition. The psychiatrist wrote nervous debility when i was 15. Sometimes my whole body is rattling as if its craving a Diazapam

I went years without meds. Never doing it again. Even if I go a couple days longer than I should without them now I start feeling bad again. Idk if I’m a lifer, but I will be if my sza doesn’t ease up

Why not injectables? That way you can’t stop and you will stay stable.

Yes it’s good u stay on them if u need to…

I will consider coming off them.

Especially now that I’m not gonna have a child anymore so not gonna need 2 worry about that.

I have to be on meds for life too. It sucks.

I also have to limit stress in my life because I become crazy with that too. Then, it’s like my meds aren’t working. No, it’s the stress that’s making my symptoms come out. I’m trying to be easier on myself. I’m trying to allow myself and admit to when it’s not healthy to be around certain people or a certain work environment.

It’s been a really hard year mentally and emotionally. I’m doing well otherwise though. It’s a lot for which to be thankful.

Be well @Ducky.

That’s actually inaccurate. There’s still a chance after 10 years, it just that the risk doesn’t keep increasing each year like it does during the first 10 years.
