A few months ago I decided that I could reduce my anti-depressant and did it without consulting or telling my psych doc. It only took a month for me to crash, I hit a bottom that left me suicidal, increased my anxiety attacks, left me without hope, left me barely able to function.

Thank you NandM - it's my point exactly -
as I 'weaned' opff my medication -
MY anxiety, depression ....
got progressively- BETTER.
Noticably and radically BETTER day by day.
Let's do that again -
I did
NOT feel worse -
I felt
BETTER as the meds effect lifted.
By the time they were OUT of my system - I felt like MYSELF again.
Except for the physical symptoms - I felt GREAT.
THEN -
I was able to establish a 30 day period cataloging my physical symptoms ...
WITH NO ILL EFFECTS FROM NOT BEING MEDICATED.
That's what I mean by a 'baseline'.
Thank you for that and for your responses to this thread.
I hope it helps keep others safe.
