b2,
You wrote,[...I stopped taking meds today...is this because I went off meds?..].
When someone takes mind-altering drugs in collaboration with a psychiatrist/doctor, there could be a warning somewhere in the collaboration that stopping the drugs abruptly could have dire consequences to the taker of these drugs. If there is not a warning by the prescriber, including that one could kill themselves and/or others when they are in a state of cessation from taking these drugs, that is a separate issue from what you have posted here.
But be it as it may be, the grammatical structure of your statement could lead readers to think that you stopped psychiatric drugs suddenly after years of taking them as could be seen in the record of your posts here and since there is not a reference by you to as to if your prescriber has knowledge of your stopping the drugs, then readers could think that you are stopping the drugs without approval from your prescriber. That could then deny the prescriber an opportunity to collaborate with you to withdrawal from these drugs which potentially could lead to your death or the deaths of others.
You see, the effects of withdrawal from these drugs could be delayed and come out as time runs. They could lead to suicide.
Now your prescriber of these drugs could or could not have the knowledge needed to help you through the cessation of these drugs. It has been revealed to me that the state of being in withdrawal from these drugs could be like being in a raging sea, tossed to and fro with mire and dirt being cast upon you. And then you could see a beast come out of the sea.
I am prevented by the prohibitions posted to me here by Mr. Hsiung that IMHHHO could lead people in withdrawal who are in the raging sea to stand on a sea of glass, calm and still. You could have your prescriber enter this forum and have dialog with me here and then I could explain how one could be led to be beside the still waters, out of the raging sea, comforted and free from the shackles of addiction.
