@derangedvisionsA couple weeks ago, I made a post about how all of the medications that the VA was giving me was starting to have some pretty bad effects on my body.
After about a month of weening off of some of the meds, I am completely off of two of them and only having minor withdrawals from them still. One of the meds, my main mood stabilizer, as I was lowering the dosages of this one, I began to notice that my emotions were beginning to be all over the place. It was starting to get pretty bad and felt like I was losing control of everything, so I decided that I was not going to be able to function normally while lowering this one.
I have recently gone back to my normal dose of it and I feel like my mood is beginning to return to normal. I felt like I was a failure at first because I was not able to continue to lower the dose on that one medication, but then I realized that I will probably need to wait a while before lowering that one because I am sure that coming off of everything at once was probably too much for my body to handle.
I created this image to represent my feelings about my mind right now. It is shattered and I am doing what I can to continue to put the pieces back together.
