I guess that depends on the relationship you have with your doctor - mine is very cautious and conservative in her choice of treatments, and I check with her whenever I'm considering a medication change or if my symptoms go wonky.
Whenever I'm making a change in dosage or type of medication she usually sees me every 2 weeks to see how things are going.Fingers crossed for you!! Let us know how you're doing, precious thing!

I think maybe you should allow urself a margin of error.
I know i cant even start to go off parnate.So you have already been of a while.
If and not jinxing u,you should have to go back on meds,try again!
Maybe going off meds its like smoking,lot of people dont find it better cold turkey,and a lot of people have numerous attempts before than final succesful one.
So if u do end up taking them,least know getting off is a possability you have already managed to do so for the time being.

I would wait till my next appointment to tell him but I know what will happen and I am not looking forward to his reaction of disapointment in me. But I feel confident that I will be ok. Time will tell.
