I’ve been on anxiety and depression meds for several years now, and while I suppose I function as needed, sometimes i feel as though i am having such “zombie” like symptoms of dissociation due to the meds and lack of emotion that I’m not having to develop legit coping mechanisms for when my mental health goes haywire. One time i was on the phone with my mom and forgot where i parked my car not even an hour earlier, most days i zone out so much that the days blend together and it also effects intimacy stuff.

I know meds are just to make things manageable but what if they’re just making me so unamused with everything in life that i don’t confront my stressors and other issues that complicates my anxiety and depression in the first place?


TL;DR-Is it a good idea to ween off of my meds(with help of prescriber) so i am forced into actively developing and using coping mechanisms to handle my anxiety and depression?
