In reply to Withdrawals or mood stabilizer?, posted by Susie on June 4, 1999, at 11:24:06
Oh my god. All I can say is I totally relate to
your confusion/suspicions, and I hope someone
has some good insights into your post. I can never
tell what's depression, what's withdrawal, how
to handle the whole going off meds thing. I DO
wish, like you, that I could just check into a
mental hospital or a motel room and just get it
over with without having to do with real life, or
other people. There's so much info. out there on
what to expect when going on meds and not nearly
enough on how to transit off--I mean something
alot more in depth than just a clinical taper off
point of view. It's a VERY emotionally violatile
time and there needs to be more help from professionals
on this issue. It shouldn't be one of these things
where your left feeling crazy and alone and stuck
with confusing emotions and not have any insight on it,
but that's often what it is.
Anyway, like I said, I hope you get some good
insights, unfortunately all I have to offer is my
empathy and support.
