Successfully Discontinue Long Term AD Therapy?

Posted by Leighwit on May 7, 2002, at 12:44:15

I wonder if anyone reading Psychobabble has successfully discontinued drug therapy after long-term use? By long-term I'd say more than three years.

I would suppose that those who might have done so wouldn't be reading Pschobabble. Anyone venture where I might find statistics on this? I've taken them for ten years and I just wonder if anyone ever recovers after that much time.

How do we know if we still need them? The side effects keep most of us from ever feeling 100%, so who's to say that it isn't the side effects that keep up taking medication beyond its net efficacy?

I'm contemplating a stoppage. I would only do under a doctor's supervision and there's a strong chance she won't support it. I'm no less interested in knowing if there's hope ~ and just how much hope is supported by fact.

Can anyone send me in the right direction for this info?
