Thanks for the feedback everyone. Thanks for the support.
I'm not firing my therapist because he actually has no control over my meds. He is not insisting I drop med therapy. He was just saying that in an ideal world I would be able to live without the meds. The world is less than ideal.
He does not prescribe and has no influence on those decisions, therefore:
I'm still looking for a psychiatrist here in CA. My new health plan will be in effect Oct. 1st so I need to wait until then to make sure I get a pdoc who is covered by my new plan.
You all have really helped confirm this for me. I really believe that I need to remain on my medication indefinitely. Any doc that can't support that is not doing me any service. I know my history. I know my patterns. I know that all of the major breakthroughs in therapy have happened while on medications. Therefore I believe that the meds are necessary for me.
Thanks All!
