Coming Down

Later this week I'm starting the process of coming off the anti-depressants I've been on for the best part of three years.
I have tried once before but it was an ill-conceived attempt so I'm taking a much more methodical approach to the reduction. My long term aim is to be completely off them by the end of the year.
I know that is pretty long term, and I may actually achieve it sooner, but that's the realistic goal.
The next six weeks will determine whether it will happen faster or not.
I'm reducing by one-third over the next six weeks. If everything works well then, after a short period of stability, I'll try for a further reduction.
Maybe once I'm completely off them I can have a glass of wine to celebrate!
