Re: Re: [TW. GC-rated] Introduction to Charlie
Hi Elizabeth! Thanks for your introduction. I can't imagine anyone in my life not knowing about my mental health issues just because they're so outwardly obvious. *Laugh* They'd have to be in their own world to not notice.

It's awesome that you've found a medication that has worked so well for you for 18 years. I'm one of those people you mentioned who doesn't take their meds like they're supposed to. *Facepalm* I take them for a while, then think I'm better and stop taking them. Not to mention I often think I can self-medicate better than doctors can treat me, so I go that direction. *Rolleyes*

I don't think you should go off your medication at any point since it works so well. The doctors would slowly wean you off of them if need be. I've been on a ton of meds and the withdrawal from a lot of them is rough, but even if you cold turkey stop taking them, you feel better within a couple weeks.

Well, better as in you no longer get physically ill without them.

Best,
