PuraVida,
Sometimes non-compliance is a good thing;
especially if you get some green light
from you dr.; but more often than not it
causes more problems in the end, if you do
it without assistance and without knowledge
of what the outcome will be.This is my opinion - be very careful getting
off drugs - especially the SSRIs - they are
notorious for w/d syndrome and worse protracted
w/d syndrome, which you cannot correct - only
time and still have the depression that you took
them for in the first place.Please, consult and agree with your dr. about
the possible consequences - that way both of
you will be prepared.If forgetting drugs is a problem ( i know it is
with me and the carrying the baby bottle around )
have tried those little pill containers from
the pharmacy where each day contains that number
of drugs - and every Sunday or so you can fill
up the exact number for the week.Good luck to you and i hope you fare well
with the w/d;Squiggles
