I know the feeling. When I learned that I would probably never stop taking medications, I felt so defeated. I'm more at peace with it now. I can accept that this is what I have to do to be a productive member of society. I was originally diagnosed with GAD. That is something that they like to try to treat with CBT. There's a chance of not being on meds. But then, things got worse, and it made more sense to have a diagnosis of BP2. And that disorder, you have to take meds for life. Oh well. I figure things could be worse! I could have never found the right meds, and just been couped up in my house all day long, barely being able to sleep and never being able to leave. I wouldn't have beeing *living*. So I am a very cooperative patient and I always take my meds.
