Hi,

I've recently stopped my medication to focus on work however during this my feelings have returned and I wondered if anyone had any ideas why this happens.

So I have a history of violence, domestic violence, assaults ect. Judge me all you like, I'm not here for that. I'm here to find out why I want to hurt people, why I want to smash up an entire house just because I fancy it. I'm not angry, at all. But I really want to hurt someone.

Ideas?

Well... honestly I don't know the answer to this. You indicated you recently stopped your medication & you mentioned you have a history of violence. So I would presume, with the medication now leaving your system, you're perhaps simply reverting back to having impulses similar to those you had prior to going on medication? I do think that, sometimes, when one goes off of psych med's one can experience mental health symptoms that are actually more pronounced than one had prior to going on med's to begin with (just my personal observation.) Going off psych med's can be a challenge from a variety of perspectives in my experience.

For one thing the med's were presumably masking your desire to hurt someone... whatever that stems from. And now that the med's you were taking are gone, the urge to do harm has come roaring back, so to speak. It's like a person who's been on medication for depression or perhaps bipolar disorder who begins to feel well. They decide they don't need the med's anymore so they go off of them. And, as a result, pretty soon they're right back where they started from. That's a pretty typical scenario as I understand it. Perhaps as time passes, & your body adjusts to no longer having the medications, your urge to harm someone may subside. However in the alternative what you're experiencing may also be telling you that you need to be on whatever the med's were you were taking & remaining off of them is going to be potentially dangerous, both for you as well as for whomever it is you might hurt. At least these are my thoughts with regard to your post.
