Track16: I have to stay on them. If I were to come off them, the problems I had would come back. Its not ideal but I would rather be like this than to be like I was before.
It's ok, It's ur life and ur decision, I am just trying to help, as I see it from the outside !

Track16: I tried before to come off them. I was doing good at the time and felt I didn't need them anymore. It took about a few weeks for the problems to start coming back and after a month, I had to start taking the medication again. The problem with these medications is that they don't fix the problem, they only manage it. Its like taking insulin for diabetes, it don't fix the problem, it just manages things.
I would love nothing more than to stop these medications. I can't though until there is developments in finding a cure for the issues I have.
It must have been very bad when u came off the meds and u found urself getting sick again. I know of lots of people that had tried it and most go back. Some actually make it out the other side and find something else to hang onto. They mostly choose religion (Christianity) and it seems to not solve, but make their problems more manageble.
