i’m going off of my meds is it really the best idea?
I’m on lithium and several other psychotropic meds and meds for diabetes, vitamin d deficiency, and pain meds for my back, one for my stomach, and birth control. I’m only 17 and I take 9 pills a day that is why I’m going off them. But is that really the safe thing to do.
You need a doctor to help you decide which meds you can safely stop taking and how to taper slowly off of them. If you stop taking your meds cold turkey, you will suffer terrible side effects.
I can’t comment on the other medications, but I was once on anti-depressants as well. I am off of them now and doing better than I every have before. As long as you stay in counseling and work towards self improvement, you can survive without meds.
