Ultimately, that is my task. To accept this drug or to taper this drug. I have been raised to think that taking any medicine for anything is a sign of weakness. I let myself get psychotic before I'd give in and take a pill. Thats crazy to me now, that I put myself through such suffering, refusing any meds for relief.Is that what Im now doing? Rejecting an effective med only to suffer so that I can say Im not weak.Or take an ssri because thats considered the right pill for mental illness, the politically correct pill. I can tell any dr Im on an ssri, and they dont blink an eye. Well, mention that Im on a benzo everyday for 4 1/2 yrs and we all know how that goes...
