I don't want to detract anyone from going on meds. They are very very helpful and needed at times. But I stopped mine already. I have experience with this particular med and it has a ramp up time that produces numerous side effects. One of those is a muddled mind. Granted it would probably last only a few weeks but....
I worked damn hard to get this far and the biggest gift I have daily is to wake with clear and passionate thoughts. Yes I get low at times. I had never taken this pill when I was not drinking. And I decided that clarity and my love for my sobriety will not be dampened by taking this pill. I would rather find better natural ways to solve my low points.
If things get bad... Which my worst sober day has never come close to a good drunk day... Then I will use every tool I have including this pill. Until then?
A clear mind is the most valuable tool I have to staying sober and enjoying living sober.
