I am getting off of meds.
I am starting on Zyprexa, given that it is the most problematic for me right now. I currently take 15 mg of Zyprexa. Everybody I've talked to about this recommends going slow on tapers, but I seem to think the opposite on this matter. I guess it's just because I think the advice to go slowly is arbitrary. Would you tell a heroin addict to go slowly off of his or her heroin? That's why I want to try going off reasonably quickly. Also the different "synergies" between meds seem to me to be quackery. Like the fact that venlafaxine potentiates mirtazapine, etc. Those seem to be not scientific facts but half-truths that are engineered by the psychiatric profession. I know what I'm going to do: stop taking meds and stop taking psychiatrists so dang seriously. I don't think they're real doctors. |

I regret posting this thread. I don't think any of it's true, though it reflects how I was feeling at the time: pretty down.
So, hopefully, this doesn't incite others to do what I was going to do in not listening to my doctors. |
