Stopping Medications? (Does not condone)

Remember everyone - the research is showing that those people who don’t take medications generally die younger than those who do. While medications are far from perfect - they may be better than the alternative:

Antipsychotic Treatment and Mortality in Schizophrenia: No Drugs = Higher Mortality

Good news for most of the people here: (I know that Firemonkey posted this before - I just wanted to draw attention to it, and the Pubmed reference). CONCLUSIONS: Among patients with schizophrenia, the cumulative antipsychotic exposure displays a U-shaped curve for overall mortality, revealing the highest risk of death among those patients with no antipsychotic use. These results indicate that both excess overall and cardiovascular mortality in schizophrenia is attributable to other factors than antipsychotic treatment when used in adequate dosages.
