meds and life

[bab]

Does anyone else feel that their medication has ruined their life? I do. Im sorry if this a bad post but I feel that I coped ok with slight panic attacks 12 yrs ago but begged docs for these magic pills since then whenever im not on them i go absoutely nuts - dont get me wrong it sounds like i take them willy nilly - im very strict about teking my pills every day at the same time, but i feel like im not the same person i was before i went on meds and this is it from now on. Whenever i come off them and ive tried about 4 times and have weaned properly off - im then ok for about 6 months and then i spiral downwards till i go nuts and need to go back on them again - i find it very scary

You're not alone. I wonder what they are doing to me too! Hence my decision yesterday to come off them. I find the medication scary too and wonder how much they are actually benefitting me. I don't want to be dependent on them.

At the risk of sounding shrink-like... Is there something triggering your relapses that you could work to change.

Thanks so much for your replies

the meds have helped me cure what they have done to me if that makes sense.
