Hello. I am new to your group and am hoping to find some support. I was diagnosed over 8 years ago and still struggle with it all. I stopped taking all meds about four mnths ago and have finally hit rock bottom and my hubby nearly had to take me to the er last night. But instead he took the next few days off until he can get me in to my dr and start all over finding the right meds for me. How long did it take any of you to finally realize that this is a lifelong battle and that drugs will be a part of your life forever?
hey tjlazur ..
I know it's a hard battel , maybe as u say lifelong one .. but I think it might have physcological side , that constantly keeps ur body aware to the presecne of the drugs .. idk for sure of course , but it's my point of view ...
and even if it is a lifelong battel with the desease , I think u have to go all the way with the drugs , as it is the only option available .. and OF COURSE we're all here to support u anytime :)
I was totally able to get off medications by changing my lifestyle.... Working out regularly at the local YMCA, eating a healthy diet, Lots of self therapy, finding venues to relax and enjoy myself.
I was off from the Zoloft and doing great for about 7 months when the PTSD hit full blast. After trying to fight it off for 3 months I decided to go back on the Zoloft and I am scared!! HELP
