JennyAnn,I think it's great. I share many of your feelings
of the relief that the ssri's gave me from fear,
anxiety, self criticism and so forth...but the
apathy, especially creatively, has been hard for me.
Also, I miss my feelings. So far every time I've
gone off meds, I go back on b/c I just can't deal
with the anxiety and fear--however, I still have
the hope that one day I'll be med-free. I'm
inspired by your spiritual journey--it's very brave
of you. Just keep in touch, either through
posting here, or email ruth.eckles@duke.edu. I
think it's important to get feedback on this site
from people who are both on medication, and those
who are transitioning off--the most helpful information
I find is from real people, not just what the dr;s
tell us. I'm sending warm thought and good vibes
your way, and good luck with everything
Ruth
