If this is something you've fought your entire life, then you have a chronic situation. The drugs are awesome.
When I asked my doc about going off, he said "OK, what did you experience when you were off the drugs?" "Panic, anxiety, social phobia." "And you want to return to that why?"

UT some diabeties can be controlled w/o meds. Trying not to be critical though, I think you're comparing apples and oranges. The drugs are not awesome, they can have serious consequences and like I've stated before, are not fully understood. When you were off the drugs, and while you were on them, what else did you do to alleviate your problem? This is probably rude to say, and I think you're awesome no matter what, but your photos show that you are overweight. Do you exercise and diet? Have you tried methods like meditation, yoga, or regular counseling? If you're not willing to share more I understand, I'm just trying to get the full picture.
