Have started tapering off Zyprexa. Brain zaps depression little motivation anxiety fear. Peace love joy hope too. Nothing too different. My dreams are intense lately. I can cry again.
My life and all I love in it seems like so fragile. I feel like I need protection. I prayed today like I do from time to time, just thinking of my wishes and being grateful really.
I’m not going back. I want to see what’s under there. I have been medicated since age 15 I want to see if I can be med free. My psychiatrist knows and will be helping in the process. I will talk with him Monday.

Thanks for your post which is positive in planning to go off medication with help of a trained professional. It is excellent for a clinician to be making the shared treatment decision with you instead of for you.👍What are your longer term goals for your quality of life (QoL)?
My psychiatrist reminds me that my patient version of recovery is sometimes quite different to his medical version, taking into account needs, goals and my story of depression.
Wishing you all the best on the journey to meds freedom. 🤞🦘
My goals are the same which are to add improve upon and stick with healthy life stuff (exercising meditating etc) l that go with my values. And when a problem arises I’ll take care of it for instance I have a positive feeling about going off meds but I will never say never again although that would be nice. Hope that makes sense.
