Doctor wants me to taper off meds; I don't understand why

I'm sorry to hear that you don't feel like drawing, @parus. You might want to check with your doctor or pharmacist before you increase the dosage again. You are just very sensitive to these changes and you might need longer at a lower dose before you increase it again. Take care and I hope you are able to pick up your pencil and draw again soon.

As a mentor, do you know that genes play a big role in what drugs to take. I have a lot of bad genes. But now I know mostly what I can and cannot take. I am at where antidepressants are really out of reach for me. But again Benzo's are not prescribed enough for people like me that I don't have much option on antidepressants. I think I have tried most all of them before, none of them worked. Drove me crazy.. So, I feel for all these people needing help and don't get it.

@hopeful33250 @parus As we know, each person's system responds to medications in different ways. It sounds like you are super sensitive, and having been your own advocate for so long, you are hyper vigilant. Please find a way to relax, and get your drawing started again [or some outlet for your creativiy]; we know we like your pictures and you cope easier when you can draw.
