Then don’t. I was prescribed anti-depressants/anti-anxiety meds and took them for years. Best thing I did was stop taking everything!!!

I got prescribed anti psychotics so idk if wavering off those is different, But would u say it was hard to get off ur medication? I just don’t want to be stuck taking meds forever if I don’t like them

One of the hardest things I’ve done in my life. Didn’t tell my doc cuz I knew they’d advise against it. I weaned myself off over 6 months and it’s taken more than 2 years to actually feel like myself again. Long tough process but soooo worth it for me.

Jesus… my doctor just prescribed me these meds. I don’t know if it would be better to just not take them or just tell her straight up I don’t wanna take that medication. it’s just like I don’t know if I can get in trouble or forcibly hospitalized for not wanting them.

I don’t know your exact situation and I’m definitely not a doctor but my advice is before taking any medication of any kind you should do your own research and read about side effects, pros and cons and what other people’s experiences have been with the same type of med.
