Had my first day in office w/o meds (worked late and crashed at my s/o’s place), was expecting the day to be horrible but it felt really good surprisingly? Felt more social and creative - and didn’t feel anxious despite a seniors level deliverable that I had to get done. Anyone else feel that way or notice any other off med benefits? I’m just surprised that’s all

I really do love the moments where I do finally feel productive without the help of my meds. Any attempt at normalcy even if it's placebo.

It's great to hear that your first day off medication went unexpectedly well! Some people may experience increased social interaction, creativity, and reduced anxiety off medication. It's important to consult with a healthcare professional to discuss any changes in medication or treatment plans. Sometimes all you need is a change.

(I get that NA drinks / spirits can be triggering for people in recovery)
Thank you.
