I want to go off my meds.

I've been taking them for two years and it's been great, I've had energy, focus, felt stable, but I've also felt boring, I've lost any sense of impulse, everything I do is a cold calculated decision. There's no joy in it.
Besides that, I had to change doctors and he refuses to refill my prescriptions, so my medication changes have already started fucking with me super hard in a bad way. The man doesn't listen to me no matter what I say, so this isn't something I have the benefit of discussing with him.

If I'm going to spin out of control I want it to be because that's who I am, not because some piece of shit doctor didn't listen and made me take pills I didn't want.

what pills are you taking? be careful getting off them if you're going to.

Depakote primarily. The other medications don't matter since MD AssFuck already took me off them.

depakote is a mood stabilizer eh? i was on that before. are you bipolar?
>>
>>18153602
Yes.
>>
>>18153607
be careful, man. im not bipolar, and was misdiagnosed (and i kind of lied about things to get pills) .. but thats beside the point.. idk what its like being bipolar, but i would imagine being manic is fun, but possibly dangerous. i understand you dont feel like your normal self, but be careful. maybe see another doctor and tell him you feel like shit

I could benefit from feeling this way. i just started on citalopram and im hoping it kind of blunts my emotions a bit. i made a lot of decisions based on my current emotional state rather than logic

going off your meds is about the worst idea ever.

That said, if your doctor isn't listening to you get another fucking doctor. He serves you, in this case. He's the fucking product.

Bipolar is dangerous. psych meds can also be dangerous to stop without the guidance of a physician, so either way I'd look into changing doctors again first.

The problem is my insurance is severely restrictive right now. I could possibly see a different physician at the same clinic but I don't think it would benefit me well.
You're right though, I should at least try first.
