Pdoc gave me the go ahead to wean off the last of my Prozac. I hadn't really been taking it before anyways, just 20mg here and there when I remembered.
I haven't taken it for a few weeks now. I think I'm pretty much med free at this point!
I haven't taken Risperdal in ages. I had gotten pdoc's OK to go off that quite a long time ago and I've been fine.
The same with the Celexa. We reduced and I went off that again with no problems.
I've had zero problems going off all my meds. No real side effects or anything.
I do notice that I'm a bit more moved by emotionally charged movies etc. but in a good way. I cry when I watch a sad movie or hear a touching story etc. It's nothing abnormal. It's just human. I think this happened much less when I was on all those SSRI's. There may have been some emotional blunting.
Anyways, I'm doing well! I'm still not "successful" in terms of high academic and career acheivements, but whatever. LOL I don't mind. I don't need to be the best.
I don't think I'd like the extra stress that goes along with such high acheivements anyways.
I do have plans to get a better job etc. in the future and I suppose I'm procrastinating a bit, but I'm still quite happy as I am now. I'm just going to enjoy it as nothing in life is ever guaranteed. My parents are getting a bit old now so I need to prepare myself for them passing on in the future.
So, no meds! Yay!
I used to be such a mess remember?
I'm not sure what happened. Maybe my borderline personality went away. Maybe my brain just matured. Who knows?
