I looked up the half-life of abilify and celexa. Both are fairly long; it almost seems as if they self-taper when you discontinue them.
I'm still torn, though. I don't want to be tranquilized into docility, but I don't want to end up in a mental institution, either. What's creepy is that I've got the DSM burned into my mind; I do little self-checks to see if I'm: psychotic, (hypo)manic, anxious, depressed, etc. I kind of feel as if I *need* to go off meds so I can reclaim my emotions. Even if I fail--and by fail, I mean go psychotic and have to go back on medication, at least the Abilify--I kind of feel like I might get a bit of my humanity back.
This is so frustrating. I don't want to hog the board, but I would like some tips on how I should handle this.
