Hi,
Just let me add my opinion. I was DX as Bipolar with psychotic features and an anxiety disorder. Well, let me be the first to tell you that this disorder was drug induced but yet I believe the pdcos. I went to see three of them and each had a different DX and one said I don't know what you are but let me put you on heavy hitting anit-psychotics. It just makes my blood boil.

I will admit that I have an anxiety disorder but refuse to take drugs b/c I feel there are ways to imrove anxiety like CBT training, diet and exercise. I feel if you want to stop taking meds and try other methods than you should. But PLEASE don't cold turkey the drugs. Due a slow taper. You can try it but know that w/d can last for months. I am 10 months off the drugs and am still somewhat affected by w/d. I know some people who have protracted w/d after 16 months. Good Luck and believe in yourself that life is going to be ok.
