Hi there, I understand your dilemma. I have been through the same thing.

I've been on medication for a long time and have tried to come off because I didn't feel k needed them any more, only to have a big relapse.

I've accepted that I will just need to take medication for the foreseeable future.

One day there may be better treatments available, but until then I'll take the medication I'm on.

If the medication doesn't give you side effects then I can't see a problem with this.

It's the same as any other long term illness.

I hope this helps X

I have a chemical imbalance that necessitates antidepressant and some other meds. But these are prescribed by a psychiatrist. And I go for therapy as well.

You didn’t say what meds you’re playing around with and if you have a diagnosed condition. So it’s hard to respond to your plight. Other then to say I identify with not liking to take meds. But for me they’re necessary. If I want my mood stabilized I need to do what my doctor recommends.

Hi sorry I got diagnosed with depression and anxiety,I take mirztaphine was moved from sirtraline my doc does tell me not to just stop taking them so kind of is my fault but with out meds I don't feel normal the docs did say some people just have imbalance and I'm wondering weather that is gonna be the case I was just wondering weather its possible to feel normal with out meds,and ofcourse the heartbeat just beat uncontrollable as well 😌

I like the person who responded that they’ll be on them for the foreseeable future.
