Can I ask why your doctor took you off your meds? I think it's important to stay on them if they work for you.

Hi Vicky, of course always let your doctor know what you are experiencing afterweaning off your meds.

When my medication was no longer working for me, I asked to be weaned off it.

My psychiatrist led me through the weaning process slowly and safely and yet

it took time to fully recover. Even when completely off the meds, it needs a little

time more to full heal the brain.

But whenever it is something making you uncomfortable or you have concerns about,

please always check with your doctor. :) xx

Well, that makes sense. But, the doctor should have put you on something else. Going off meds is very hard. And if you have depression/anxiety you should definitely be on something.

The depression is a lot better do anxiety is a lot better bananas but much is the depression but you’re right I feel like she should’ve put me on something else while being weaned off

It kind of seems like she was having a bad day that day and didn’t wanna be bother

Well, that's not right. She should have been more attentive and professional. What do you think you are going to do?
