in Everyday life
I've been on various medications since I was bout 12 years old for depression I'm 46 now and when I've not had my meds I do feel I'm going crazy but feel more if you get me. 
I seem to be a all or nothing person so if I'm in I'm in 100% I just don't know I'm on 150 mg serraline what do people's think? And is anyone in the same kinda situation as me

    I’ve tried the cold turkey and like you say never again, it’s a lot harder than you think.

    The consultants and doctors put me on this medication for a reason so it was very silly of me to go against there ideas of trying to make my life a little more bearable. I’m in a wheelchair and will be for the rest of my life so the medication and the wheelchair go hand in hand and it’s about time i got use to the idea and listened to people that are in the know . Me and meds are here to stay. NC
