For the last four months or so, I've been cutting down on my antidepressant, with the goal of being med free.

Last few weeks, I've not felt 'right' and yesterday, I had the most horrendous panic attack. I felt like quitting my job as I was thinking I'll probably fail sooner or later, so may as well get it over with - you know how the negative feelings snowball !

Slightly better today but I guess my question is, will I have to accept being on medication for life? It makes me feel so weak that I have to rely on it to feel 'normal', but I can't seem to cut down. I get so far and all the old panic symptoms return.

I just want to be the old 'me', confident with no meds. Too much to hope for?
