I went to my appointment expecting the woman who prescribes my psych meds to tell me my plan to go off my meds was a bad idea. Instead, she was all for it and started jotting down numbers so she could order the right number of pills.
I was a little confused. Any time I had suggested a major overhaul like this, my doctors, nurses, physicians assistants, etc, had always advised against it. And, being the ones with the prescribing power, they won that debate.
This time I had her full cooperation. In fact she stated she was proud of my decision (which, in retrospect, was a bit condescending).
The point if this massive change? I want to know how I am off of medication now that I am an adult.
Now, one third of the way through the weaning off process, I haven't noticed a significant difference yet. So far, so good.
