Hi I am concerned at this as the advice is to be feeling better for at least 6 months before you try coming off your meds. Then you need to reduce it slowly not by half. I hope you are not setting yourself up for some horrible side effects!

I have been using drugs for six years now I'm not depressed not crazy just not able to live with anti depressants as they control me mentally and physically does anyone know what it is like not able to gain an election or wake like a zombie what I'm is frustrated and anxious

Well if you are not depressed then you don't need the drugs. It still might not protect you against side effects, but that's up to you of course.

Hi! If you have a goal of a better life and keep asking 'how', that opens the part of your mind that enables you to find opportunities and possibilities. There will be ups and downs along the way, the most important thing is to know that this is part of life and to ride the waves :-)
