Medication is always a frequent question here in this community; what do you use, have you had success, is this med OK, etc.

Suz,


I'm not sure how I will explain it, but I will try to.

Well, I'm not currently on any medication. I weaned myself off of Paxil from October to December with the permission of my doctor. I often think about this question and whether or not I will need to go back on medication. I think I'm okay for the moment. I have bad days still, but I constantly remind myself that it's getting better since my little relapse in December. I'm much further ahead than I was then. So I guess if it came down to going back on medication I'd want to know some specific things, like how difficult is it to wean off the medication? What is your average patient success rate with this medication? Also, I will never again go to a General Practitioner for medication. In the future I will go to my psychiatrist for that.
