Here's my 2 cents....
We all want to put labels on everything in society. I myself have questioned my pdoc about what i have, whats the real problem. I have been told, yeah, you have social phobia, you may have BP2, you have depression, you have panic disorder...I have decided that no matter what I "have" Its up to me to figure out what makes me feel better. If I take meds that are typically for someone with BP, and i feel good, then who cares. Its totally up to you. If you feel you dont need the medication now, stop. I took zyprexa, depokote, paxil and xanax for 5 years, i eventually got fed up with the side effects (plus a bad doctor) and stopped. Cold Turkey. (i know that's not good) but I did...And i was alright for about 2 years. Then, I realized I needed help with severe depression/anxiety. But I was the one who decided when to stop and when to seek help. Thats just my story..
