I actually talked to my doc about lowering my meds in my appointment a few weeks ago.  Her immediate response was that she tends not to do it in the winter months.  COmbine that with the mayhem of the lockdowns, and it's not a good thing to do.  I had a small flare-up of anxiety this weekend, but I handled it correctly - under meds.

There is NO SHAME in going back on the meds.  Everything is just, pardon my language, bat $#17 crazy!  Why join the mayhem?

My doctor actually told me not to stop them due to my job being stressful, covid, etc. but I insisted and we stopped them but my anxiety is back now even though the first off of the meds I was doing fine
