Probably not helpful for your sitch, I think the WAS just looks as these things as kind of a sad and pathetic move on the LBS's part. I did the same thing pretty early on in my sitch and got a response similar to yours. W basically told me it was great I had figured that out, she wanted me to be happy and wished me the best. All very PC.

Are you taking a benzo for anxiety? If so, then only take it when you need it. They are very addictive. I was on them and really didn't like taking them because they messed up my head. I only took them if I had a bad anxiety attack.

It all seems really strange to me now because I've been off the A/D's for over 2 months and haven't had an anxiety attack for... 6 months +/-. Looking back I can't believe I went through all that, it seems so alien to me. I really wasn't myself back then. Now I feel like the old me, the me from well before BD when I was content in life and not stressing all the time about my job or whatever. Little to no anxiety, no depression, happy and content. All of that misery seems like a terrible dream.

I just share that so you know that these meds are probably just temporary. You are in what the doc's call "situational depression". Once your "new normal" is established then you will probably come out of it and can taper off the med's.
