> Doctors will tell you to take your meds regardless.
I suspect it is because they'll feel like they aren't doing anything to help us if they didn't.
> For me it was the right decision to stop. But the doctor would never have agreed. The cumulative side effect profile was making it harder and harder to get through life.
I can't tell if the lack of motivation I experience is a side effect or not. I want to find out once and for all.
> If a doctor thinks that you're sick, then he won't trust your intuition.I'm not sure I was ever "sick". I have problems yes, but I don't think I can say I was really sick. I can't say much about my intuition thought...I change my mind very frequently. Sometimes I think I need meds, other times I don't. Most of the time I'm indifferent so I just keep up the routine of taking them.
> You just need to be sure that your decision is based on the right reasons.
I just want to see if I get better or worse without them.
> If you are in a rush, and want to stop everything cold turkey, then that might be a sign that it is a rash decision.
I'm not in a rush. I quit the other two cold turkey because for one my doc told me to and the other I had just started. I'm cutting back on the last because I've been on it for so long.
If I'm going to get worse, I sure hope I get worse soon, before school starts again! I really need to do well next semester and not plan my death all the time.
Hmmm...actually I'm sort of changing my mind now that I'm thinking about school. See how quickly I can change my mind!
Maybe I shouldn't experiment on myself until I get my degree!
What the hell, I'll start taking the damned Wellbutrin again and see if it helps me concentrate on my school work.
