Considering Stopping Medication, Need Advice

well I am new here and just thinking about stopping all my medicine and see if I can truly deal with life now. I know the doctors advice is to taper off, but was wondering if anyone else has done this before?

Can you help? connect today

That's part of the beast. We take meds, we feel better, we think we can handle it, we spiral. Be careful. Listen to your Dr and taper please. It's not safe to stop cold turkey.

Never alter/stop your meds without doctor supervision. Please, I’ve seen too many disastrous results in doing so!

I'll be honest, the idea of going off my meds terrifies me. You do you, but plz be careful and mindful of yourself, your mood and your mental state. Hope everything goes well.😁
