I’ve seen this many times in this community over the years. I’ve also stopped my meds too in the past. It never ends well. You should stay on your meds

theyre definately helping. every time ive ever came off meds or seen someone come off meds they got very sick so, its best to stay on them. perhaps you need a reduction though ?

oh ok, well the dose makes the cure right… i think its about finding the right amount. too much is bad, not enough is bad… when you take the right amount i think youll feel ideal

i see hmm, yea i think just about everyone has considered coming off meds at one point. I’d be seriously surprised if there was a single person here who didnt quit their meds at some point! Over the years tho i think we all realized were better off with them and just need to try different doses and new meds. I mean there was a day when we all didnt take meds (pre sz) and the reason we started taking them was cause we had an episode… so therefore without them we’d simply go back to that initial state right.. I’m curious, have you ever tried therapy? you seem to have a lot on your shoulders… maybe talking to a therapist can help you relieve some of that stress

oh ok, do you have trauma tho? if you do it could help talking about the things that are bothering you… i mean i dont mean to pry but surely theres something bothering you. Not to say its purely psychological, rather than physiological, but i mean everyone has stresses. Sorry for prying, i really just hope you can find relief from your pain.

My entire family are raving JWs who dont quit talking about it. Theyve always treated me bad and even hubby can see that. Were both sick of them all so keeping our distance now. I have a battle coming to terms with their abuse. I also have problems with intense impulsive mood swings prob bpd related. I have long term beliefs and hear things , pdoc says i have bpd and sz
