healingspiral Posted April 1, 2019 Share Posted April 1, 2019 wow!! thank you for sharing. I find this an interesting read for sure. fully off meds for five years. was on lamictal for 8 years, topomax for almost 2 @ same time as lamictal, before that was on a cocktail including fluvoxamine, prozac, wellbutrin, zoloft, and more starting from age 12 to age 22 "You do not have to be good. You do not have to walk on your knees for a hundred miles through the desert repenting. You only have to let the soft animal of your body love what it loves. Tell me about despair, yours, and I will tell you mine...Whoever you are, no matter how lonely, the world offers itself to your imagination, calls to you like the wild geese, harsh and exciting - over and over announcing your place in the family of things." - Mary Oliver Link to post

getofflex Posted April 2, 2019 Author Share Posted April 2, 2019 I feel that this happened to me, to a certain extent. I had some life circumstances that were very difficult, and these circumstances caused me to be sad and anxious. Anyone else with these circumstances would have felt the same. I thank God these circumstances have changed so much, and I'm able to get off these drugs. I just wish I hadn't trusted the doctors so much when they said I needed the pills.
