Mood swings

I think I mentioned this before: I’m in the process of tapering off of my psyche meds. I got off Wellbutrin last December and I am down to 20 mg of Prozac (from 40 mg).

I am being supervised by a psychiatrist. So that makes me hella responsible.

I can go into the reasons for this decision later. For now, all I’ll say is that I feel I am ready to try something different. I am also in a mindset where I see my current stumbles and suffering as a challenge and not a sign that I am fundamentally broken.

Hooray!

If I find out that I can’t hash it out without medication, that is fine. I won’t see it as a failure. This is just a (risky) attempt at change. Change is uncomfortable, but change leads to growth. I was starting to feel stale, having been on Prozac for more than 3 years. Maybe I’ve moved past medication?

Hell I would probably change even if I went back on meds. At least I tried something I wanted to do. Plus, I will know that I have reached a boundary and I can focus on other ways to improve.

Anyway, I probably won’t post this on Medium. I feel like the conversation around psychiatric medication can be controversial and I don’t have time to moderate a discussion.
