I've been wanting to get off my meds lately (see my post above), and have been rather self-destructive with additional drugs and alcohol as well. Well, I attended a native american chrch service the other night, my first time. It was an all-night praying service, and I was 'healed' by a navajo medicine man. It was extremely intense and in the morning I decided I didn't want to put another pill into my body. So, for 48 hours now I haven't taken one. That's 6 meds:
20 mg paxil
150 mg wellbutrin
600 mg lithium
.5 mg risperdal
1 mg lorazapam (ativan)
75 mcg synthroid
I don't have a problem taking the synthroid, so I'm sure I'll start taking it again. But as for the rest, I'm not planning on taking them unless I start having massive mood swings or bad withdrawal symptoms.
What can I expect? Any warnings? Any advice? Any thoughts?
