Lou was the first to be here on this one.

CE, I used to want to be off my meds, but I now realize the risk of major episodes and feeling bad has so much potential for damage it's not ever worth being off medication.

I'm not sure if it does you any good to be thinking about getting off medication at one point. If you can, you may find yourself much better off trying to reach a point where you totally accept and embrace the fact that you take medication. Then you can just take your pills and start living your life, doing what you need to do to make life as fulfilling as possible. If one day after several years of feeling really well and you feel you are on track to accomplishing the great things in life you are capable of, then consider start to consider the idea of getting off your medication. But, also try to reach a point where you are comfortable with the idea of taking medication for the rest of your life. This is just how I believe it is best to approach a life that has been afflicted with mental illness and subsequent medication treatment. I'm sorry if I annoyed you by giving you advice on how to make decisions and live.
