Don’t quit your meds

Especially if you haven’t talked to your doctor

Look, we have all been there. I'm not sure if it's because the side effects suck or because life is duller or because you feel pretty good right now, but if you're making this decision without your doctor, I beg you to reconsider.

We have all been there, and 98% of us have come to greatly, greatly regret it. Going off your meds "unsupervised" is in all cases a bad idea, even when it turns out okay.

You likely have more to lose here than you realize.

It might be the meds making you feel pretty good right now. Dull might be better than destructive. Med withdrawals can be worse than the side effects.

If quitting your meds seems like a good idea, let this post be a reason to discuss your decision with someone, at least.
