Thanks. It's a really difficult balance, isn't it? It's not kept me relapse free, but at the same time I've never been closer to ending it all since before I started them, and they absolutely calmed my mood impulses (at the cost of more or less knocking me out). I'd previously had discussions around changing meds only to be told I can't cross taper, so I just resigned myself to them.

The difference is night and day though. My wife has really helped keep me on an even keel, but already I'm starting feel more awake and eat a little less.

Glad you made it off them, though, and hope that means things are looking better your end.
