Dear Diary, I skipped my antidepressants last night to try if I am okay without them. I am not prescribed many doses. It’s just enough amount to prevent seasonal depression. (My psychiatrist told me I might have a similar symptom to bipolar disorder but not that intense to officially diagnosis.) 

 And it was Friday yesterday so I thought it’s good to give it a try. 


I was doing fine in the morning but since this afternoon I started regret that I tried spending a day without those medications. 

I immediately knew when I continued to sing (for fun) even tho I was feeling exhausted. Then gradually I lose energy to move. And I got sensitive to sounds. 


  • The medicine I take works for me well. 
  • I still shouldn’t stop taking them.
  • To know when can I stop I have to try this experiment again when winter is done. 
What to do I can’t move even to go to brushing my teeth…
But I am okay enough to type.

Thank you for worring about me🥲☺️ My psychiatrist told me i can adjust how much i take based on my condition to avoid meds addiction. Instead of it, i go to see him often to report my condition. I will definetly let him know about what i wrote in this entry next time.

its never a good idea to skip anti depressants without a psychiatrist telling you its okay first. Anti depressants withdrawal is NO fun. If you want to go off anyi depressants, it has to be done by reducing tiny bit by tiny bit, it's called microdosing. Dont mess with your medication, they're changing things in your brain so stopping immediately means your brain suddenly doesnt get all the chemicals it needs, and it can be VERY dangerous, its no joke. Please, be careful, don't do anything without a professional, and take care of yourself 💛
