Thinking of going off my meds...

Yves

I'm new here, so bear with me.

I've been taking an antidepressant for the last 11 years, and now I'm taking the contraceptive pill as well. I feel like the pill is affecting my moods, and I want to stop taking it. I'm thinking of going off the antidepressant as well, I've been on it since I was 16, and I can't remember what it's like without it. Maybe I'll be ok? i don't know, and I'm a bit scared.

 

Does anyone have any advice, or a similar situation?

Thanks...

dear Yves, I keep on saying this but new people come on board and probably don't know that I have had OCD for 54 years, so please if you want to talk about it I'm here. Geoff.
