Sooooooooo I’m happy.
I know, shocker eh.
But I’m in this stupid frame of mind, where I hate being happy ‘cause I’m on anti depressants. Whenever I’m happy, I think ‘oh I can stop taking them now! I don’t need them!’ And then within a few months, I’m depressed as fuck again and I’m back to square one.
Currently, I’m in that frame of mind, which I know is stupid and I’m still taking my tablets, but part of me totally wants to stop and bleugh.
Anyone else like this? |

It takes weeks for the receptors in your brain to uptake and for them to switch on. It takes weeks for the receptors to switch off when you stop taking them.
Equilibrium is achieved with regular doses or a maintenance plan to reduce them.
Just keep taking them Queenie! Don’t play devils advocate when you think you feel better  |

Keep taking them it means they are doing their job. It's just you don't have the chemicals in your brain and you need the tablets at the moment. Think of it as an antibiotic in a way, you are supposed to take the whole course even when you feel better.  |

Thanks everyone - god I adore you all 
It’s just hard trying to remind myself that my brain doesn’t function as it should and these tablets actually help 
And Steve - I’ll always send you photos of me in compromising situations |

Tablets don’t create happiness my Queen. They just make it possible for you to experience it.
This is not borrowed happiness, it’s as authentic as you.
If you get your groceries delivered, they’re still yours even though you didn’t drive to pick them up yourself.
Don’t be so hard on yourself, enjoy the happiness for what it is without worrying too much about the details.

My sister is an absolute nightmare for doing exactly this! Like an emotional yoyo. Try and keep reminding yourself that feeling this good is WHY you're taking the meds, if you keep taking them you'll keep smiling.
If you had, say, a vitamin D deficiency, and taking VitD supplements made you feel loads better you wouldn't stop taking them, would you?
Please stay on the meds, but most of all, make sure to take the time to enjoy feeling good! |

Oh oh oh oh also, for anyone that has paid attention to my ramblings, I met up with my brother in law and his wife yesterday in my in-laws garden. Haven’t seen them in three years. And I got to meet my gorgeous one and a half year old nephew |

I understand it sweetie!
I’ve been on antidepressants since I was very young because my body doesn’t naturally produce high enough levels of serotonin and when I was younger I kept taking myself off of them because I felt “happy”, just to then crash and burn a month or so later.
I’m a happy person, still on antidepressants, but not because I feel I NEED them to be happy. They are a tool to maintain my feeling of being level and in control of my life.
Big hugs your way Queenie, and maybe have a chat with your doctor about it. Perhaps they can recommend a reduction or a change that’ll support what you need!
Mwah! Xx |

I always felt like this.. and when I went off things would rocket down very quickly. It's a bit of a mind trap. The truth is I rem_mbered my GP saying.. I need to stay on them at least 2 years to make a difference and then come off slowly. I finally listened! so..dont listen to your tricky mind. It's better because you are taking them! |

No i never think of stopping taking the antidepresents, they are the reason my brain is working correctly, they are important in keeping me healthy, the same as my asthma meds etc. |

Another vote for the I’m glad you’re back camp.
I took my tabs for three days then dumped them because they stopped me cumming!!!
Depression fuck that I deal with it.
With my wife we cut a quarter off for a month then a half until she didn’t need them.
You do what you need to do and best of luck doing it!!!

I'm so glad you are feeling better. I rem_mber feeling the same, particularly when the kids were young. I didnt want to take them, I wanted to be 'normal' But now I liken taking my meds to those others take for illnesses such as diabetes or heart disease.
But that may be because I stopped taking them several years ago and became more ill than I had ever been and I'm not going back there!
So keep on doing what you are doing.
Take care
