Struggling with the Decision to Go Back on Medication for Anxiety

ive gone from being prescribed 5 different kinds of prescriptions , staying medicated for months and choosing to go towards a non - pharmaceutical treatment approach without any real bad withdrawals or worsening symptoms. Makes no logical sense really but it can happen. I gained a bit of face fat from medications but it’s all gone now. surround yourself with supportive loving and caring people, pick up on an old hobby or get into new one is my suggestion. ( this was originally commented on somewhere else but figured id leave it on here too)

Personally I couldn’t live without antipsychotics. I still hallucinate sometimes but not everyday like I used to. I’ve gone years with none. I understand being scared I would bring that up with your psychiatrist so you can go slow

Anti psychotics do have that weight gain feature at least some do. I'm on Loxapine and lorezapam for my issues and I lost weight
