Getting off all the meds.

[dabro]

I know you guys would say this is a bad idea. But I wasn't as bad off as I am now before I took the meds. I'm tired of abusing prescription meds to get high. I just want to do what God would have me to do. It's going to be a long haul type thing but I'm going to do it. I would love some encouragment other then ppl telling me its a bad idea. I'm tired of them as a crutch and I just want off of them.

If this is what you think the Lord wants you to do then it's a good thing, I used to try and self medicate myself with street drugs and they never helped me. I don't have anything against prescription drugs but I don't think they are for everybody. Tests have shown on OCD patients that exposure therapy has about the same effectiveness rates as drugs, although they say both in combination is the most effective, I think it is possible to coup without the latter, at least for treating OCD.

It is good to consider and pray about the advice others give you. But if you are seeking the Lord's will in your life, you are the one He is going to tell what to do. So feel confident in that. God bless you for moving forward despite how afraid you must feel. I will be praying for you

I'm no doctor and am not qualified to give you medical advice. But here are some thoughts... you could start transitioning to natural supplements like GABA (Picamilon version as it crosses the blood brain barrier), Inositol, L-Theanine, and Magnesium as I hear they are very helpful towards treating OCD. Ofcourse you would need to check first to make sure none of these would be dangerous to take with your perscription meds. Or if you do decide to supplement once you're off any perscription meds making sure none of these interact bad when taken together if you choose to do that, (which I'm sure you probably know already). Maybe you could go from perscription meds, to supplements, to trying to taper down the supplements to see if you would be okay without them. If not, maybe you could re-increase the supplements to a safe level and / or try different supplements. If it gets really unmanageable you could always go back on the meds. I feel the same way, I hate to be on any medication. For me I like to try to keep things as natural as possible. It could be good to do a cleanse or drink a detox tea after you get off the prescription meds and before using natural supplements, these are just ideas you can research to see if they would work for you.

It is not a disorder it is sinful fear and God can heal you
