Breathing air is a risk factor for Alzheimer’s, cancer, heart disease, and whatever else lurks out there to escort us off this spinning orb...If medication is working, and absent sure and certain knowledge that taking them under care of a physician that continued use would absolutely cause an avoidable physical/mental issue, I support taking medication. Taking medication responsibly is not a sign of weakness any more than self tapering is a sign of strength. I get that some just have an issue regarding taking pills. They are prescribed for a reason...

@elwooodsdad hi I completely agree taking meds has nothing to do with strength or weakness. I don’t want to give the wrong impression or pill shame. I’m trying this because my psych recommends it and also bc I have ocd and my current fixation seems to be klonopin, so if I’m not taking it then I don’t have to worry about it and I think that would help me more than the med does (which it does). if I could take it without worrying about it like I do effexor and buspar id probably keep taking it, but for me and the way my brain works just can’t seem to do that. It’s a net stressor for me. But every body is different and needs to do what makes them ok.
