> thanx Bunny for replying. if you have the time to respond, i am interested in how you are currently doing? back when you first wrote in October you still had some lingering withdrawal symptoms.

> do you feel pretty free of that now?Well I would expect that by now I am not experiencing withdrawal symptoms however the effects I described in the last paragraph of my original message still persist with the exception of the cold turkey which has completely gone now.
> are you feeling okay without meds?
No, though I am managing. I am planning on seeing my psychiatrist soon (probably will be in the new year now) to discuss if there any options. It was suggested that I have a 'brain scan' (his words - so what actual technique that would be used I dont know), I am going to follow this up also. Its difficult from my point to view to think of any medication which may be of benefit but I shall see what the psychiatrist says. At this point in time I am hoping that some kind of treatment can still be found for me, stopping my meds was not intended to be some final thing, one of the reasons was so I could be assessed whilst free of the effects of any medication.
