In reply to can you taper and thrive?, posted by Christ_empowered on January 18, 2011, at 19:12:20
Personally I think the question is not "can I taper and thrive" but "does it matter if I need medication to thrive"?
People with Diabetes Type II need daily insulin injections to live a healthy life. Is that bad? Should they gradually taper off their insulin so they can live a life without injecting themselves like the rest of us? Of course not!
If you can taper and thrive, that's great. But please do it properly and in consultation with your psychiatrist.
If you need medication to thrive, why worry? You're thriving!
Redefining the meaning of recovery does not make you a failure.
