I have been on psychiatric medicine since fifth grade. This was quite a long time ago as I am currently 23. Various forms of ritalin have been pumped into into my body through little pills or capsules. As I grew older I became more anxious and depressed and was eventually put on anti deppresants.
These two pills are my morning breakfast, a chemical smoothie for daily mental health. If I don't take them I know by lunch as I begin to experience withdrawls. It serves as a reminder that have swam too far from their chemically protected shores.
Today this all ends. I wait in this doctors office to tell my doctor, I am done, I want to go off my medicine. It won't be easy I will have to ween off them to help my body cope to their nonexistance. It's been a long road but I am ready to move on.
