Should I go off my meds"

I haven't been around this site for a while so I'll try to be careful about giving "advice". I quit my wellbutrin late last year and to be honest I don't think I made the "right" decision. I quit because I allowed myself the belief that I should be strong enough to cope without being medicated. Since that time I have stopped drinking completely (for the second time), and have started seeing a Naturalpath. In the past month I have experienced a reoccurance of the behaviours that put me in therapy. I used a business setback to explain why I couldn't continue with therapy and will start again next week. My situation is the oposite of yours in that I need help to change "from" me me me to Us. My wife has been the life ring that has kept me going and has supported me through some awful accusations. Controlling behaviour is awful and in my case the wall that I keep trying to build around us to keep her with me. In truth I know that it will only cause the need to be free stronger. You should very carefully way the consequences before stopping a routine, drug of other. The only person who truly knows if it's right is you.

Hiya,

I think that coming off any kind of long-term meds has to be the decision of the patient. If you dont feel that its the right time for you then I wouldn't consider it. (Unless people were telling you that it could/is having an adverse effect on your health, in which case you would discuss it with your doctor) I think once you have made your decision you need to sit down and talk this through with your husband as well.
