I am 17 andi was in a re-hab facility for self-mutilation, depression and suicide. I got out 7 months ago and religiuosly took my meds saw my therapist and physcologist. Recently though i have decieded that i hate the way my cipralex makes me no feel anything. I cancelled all app. with all doctors and ave taken myself off the meds. However i have started to find myself in the razor isle and staring at my razor longingly. Is this cause of my lack of meds? How do i come off them "gracefully" or do i o back t the morons who dosed me up continuosly????

Just a thought, how about having your doctors lower the dosage. You sound overmedicated. Talk to them, and if they don't cooperate, find someone who will see to it that you are medicated properly. Good luck.

You took yourself off too abruptly, and without having dealt with the underlying stuff.
I agree with the others that say you should find another therapist and doctor who will help you get to the place where you don't need meds OR razors.
It will take some time, but it will be worth it.

You need to find a doctor (not a moron) you are comfortable with and will listen to your concerns and get back on meds that will help you. Longingly looking at a razor is your sign to yourself that you're getting sick. You have to be smarter than your disease and know all about it and how it works on you. You need a doctor who will be your partner in discovering how to outwit this sickness. You can do it. I know where the edge is in mypersonal struggle and I know when I need help. You can do this....you can and you will find a place of peace. God Bless. "It works if you work it so work it YOU ARE WORTH IT!"

Yes. Take your meds child, please. I do, and I know how it makes you feel like someone else is driving your life, but atleast it's in a good direction you know?
