I've never had many issues with withdrawing from drugs, the w/d symptoms don't seem to bother me that much, maybe because I know they are temporary. I just wake up one day and decide to quit when I realize a drug is making me worse. I've learned it's not good to quit xxRIs cold turkey-but I've done it a few times (moreso before I knew that). Well, Effexor was really bad to withrdraw from-but at the same time, I got a little hypomania which compensated. I quit effexor twice like that.
I think sometimes I have a dopamine dysfunction. Thoughts that my Grandmother had schitzophrenia keep popping in my head. So maybe I have the schitzophrenia gene, but not the gene that 'turns on' schitzophrenia, if there is such a thing?
Or maybe schitzophrenia has a broader spectrum than we realize. Like what's sort of recently been found with autism.
