I really struggle with med changes. I hate the fact I have to take meds anyway, so I resent it when the doc sho's prescribed them then changes his mind and changes the dose.

I found it really hard when I had managed three months med free, then had a big slip down and was pretty much forced back onto medication. Like you I began to wonder whether I would ever be "better". And I understand how the concept of "baby steps" can be bloody annoying, because somedays you feel like the baby steps are so small that you are not managing anything at all. But even if you aren't going forwards, not going backwards is also a very good thing, and something to remind yourself of.

I'm sorry if this is just a rambling mess of words, but yeah, I feel your pain xx
