Fi,
I am so proud of you for getting rid of those meds. I know how hard that can be when part of you just wants to hang onto them 'just in case.' I used to tell my therapist that I didn't want my pdoc to hold my meds for me (which he was doing for a while) because I wanted to 'keep my options open.' Though that wasn't good. It's much much easier, IMO, to deal with suicidal urges when the means aren't that readily available, ya' know?
Anyway, I'm glad that we could be of at least a little help. I'm so thankful that I have the ability to choose my pdoc - I have had such bad experiences with several docs that I don't know what I would do - but the one I have now is so good and I wish everyone could find someone like him. So very frustrating that mental illness lacks proper treatment due to government, insurance, and ignorance. Sigh...
Take care and check in occasionally to let us know how you're doing.
P
