A member asked:

Why do psych meds make your condition even worse than before when they are discontinued? it is as if you can't ever go off bc it will do the opposite

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Perception: Say U're outside & U're cold. Someone lends you a warm hat.U get warm again.Now they're leaving & need it back.When U take off the hat,the warmth escapes & U feel the cold more b/c U were just warm. If a psych med is working,people often think,"I don't need this"& go off it.Often,the condition returns, & now they feel it more intensely because they know what it's like to live without it.
