Good Morning all,

  Its been awhile since I have been on here.  Things are starting to get back to a normal level slowly.  I have been working since Oct 2016 and have had 1 bad spell since being back to work.  Still seeing my Psychologist every 2 weeks.  This has been such a journey for me but never stopped thinking about all the help I got from each and every one of you on here.  I am taking 200 mg's of Imipramine at night w/ 1-1mg Ativan.  Before I went back to work I had weaned myself down from being on 3 1mg's of Ativan a day to 1 1/2 a day.  Wasn't bad cuz I took it slow.  About a week ago I cut out the 1/2 mg al together so I am now on 1 mg which is awesome to me.  I am going to eventually start weaning off all meds but taking it very slow and I have told my docs that is how I am going to do this and if they don't think its necessary well I will be finding a new Dr.

 

I work in a Dr's office and you would not believe the cases I see that are like mine.  So of course I always question is it the meds?  I know some people need to be on them but I discourage it and advise to find a good Psychologist to learn some coping skills. 

 

Well I just want to thank all of you again and will be on periodically now.  I forgot my password and it took forever to get a new one sent to my email.

 

Debbie Morris :)

So, glad to hear this Deb. Glad you are better. I just got back here myself. I am finally free of all prescription meds. My post "Finally Free" in this thread explains my last month's. Keep up the good work.

Thank you both!!!  I still have my days and will probably always will but nothing like the beginning.  My next step is to be medicine free as well, but will take it very gradual, not putting myself through hell like that!!!
