I almost went to jail years ago. Trust me the legal process they put you through and the wait and anxiety of your sentence is draining and extremely anxiety provoking. Just keep taking your meds and change your meds if you need to. Why are you afraid of taking Zoloft? If it calms you down and gives you peace of mind, isn’t that more than enough? You think your life is bad now, you don’t know what jail is like. I spent a night in a holding cell and it was so boring.
You’re not thinking rationally. You need to call your pdoc
Thats not what I am worried about. I am worried about you hurting someone. I am worried the news will say “unmedicated schizophrenic commits murder” and I will face even more stigma than I already do. I am worried about people dying. I am worried about you caring so little about your effect on others that you cause irreperable harm.

You could end up injuring someone else. Call your pdoc.

If you are talking like this on meds I can’t even imagine what you would be like off meds. You need better meds. Clearly something’s not working. I’m seriously worried about you friend.

Sorry to hear you doing so badly. Quitting meds cold turkey is a very bad idea. I tried it once or twice and landed up in hospital. Please be careful and reconsider taking meds. And do tell your pdoc everything you’re going thru!
@Joker Your comments on this thread indicate an urgent need for your meds to be adjusted, rather than you going cold turkey with them .

I find that making life changing decisions while tired or stressed or upset is not the best idea. Better to keep a cool head and think it through.
Better to not run on emotions; calm down and weigh the options.

I think he said in another thread that he’s tapering his meds on his own.
It’s a self perpetuating system of discrimination that makes us disconnected from our peers and all alone
Other people couldn’t give a ■■■■ and having Schizophrenia means they don’t even more
I am sick and tired and to be honest, I have little fight left in me
@Ninjastar I will not murder anyone but myself
Sorry if I have let people down
I struggle reading things like that. I have many of the symptoms
I am already diagnosed additionally with autism and I don’t want anymore diagnoses as I am already taking too much meds
My pdoc only knows me over the phone and I doubt he would pick up on any of this
Is it the reduction of Diazepam perhaps? I have gone from 30mg a day to 10mg and when I went even lower than 10mg I felt awful
I will try and call someone today

I have been in a prison mental health ward
It took a month to be let out on appeal and put in a community hospital for treatment
Sometimes it’s a kindness to put down a dog.
Why can I not be put down?
I feel the same way its unfair that animals can be put down but people can’t
If you are feeling suicidal, please tell someone — a friend or family member, a teacher, a doctor or therapist or call 911 (if you’re in the U.S.) or the Emergency Medical Services phone number in your country.
You can also call a suicide prevention hotline—these are available in the U.S. and in many other countries.

Talking to people doesn’t help
Unless I am in the middle of overdosing or tell them I have plans they will ignore me just like the NHS
Cold turkey is the worst thing you can do. It won’t help long term and long term is what matters.
