I've not asked to when I am going to be meds free but have only just got on another combination again this year which has helped me going from dangerously suicidal and attempting to being on a kind of even keel with those thoughts being less, my moods being more stable and me being able to act less on the impulses. In effect, they have and still are saving my life.
I don't like being medicated as it makes me feel like a freak but I realise that I need them right now (and have for the last 2 and 1/2 years).
I am finally starting psychotherapy in about 4 weeks and who knows how long that will last but I expect for a vast proportion I will still need to be on meds in order to be able to safely engage in the psychotherapy.
I hope one day I will be off them but it somewhere in the long-term not immediate future.
