Can the meds harm my mental?

In your opinion can they maintain me in some strange bad state? cause at the end, those meds are strange…
I mean if they can harm me and maintain me in one passive state where ill always feel bad? Or its more the illness and if those are the right meds they can only help?
For a lot of my healthy friends, those meds are poison and made by facturers to gain money and to maintain us in a ‘‘zombie’’'state…
I am at the point of my situation where I cant say if I feel bad because of the meds or the illness.
Maybe once I am better adjusted to meds they will work even better without some zombie state?
No one here wasn’t ever afraid from those meds? but apart from this my meds helped me always to be on my feet, to eat, to do some small things in the day. But I still feel my brain in my head and I wonder if its the meds or the illness…
can adjusting to meds take so much time, like 6 monts or more?

I also feel like a zombie - not interested in anything. I’m not sure if it is the meds or disease either. I think I felt this way before the meds. Everything is so boring and I feel just uninterested in it. My pdoc said I could try med-free for a while. I might not need them on a regular basis. I’ll let you know if that changes anything.

I don’t think the med companies want to keep us in a zombie state though. They might want to make money off of us. I find it suspicious that abilify 10mg costs the same amount as abilify 5mg…

You haven’t been on 10mg for 6 months. So I’d definetely give it more time.

It took a couple of months (about 3) for abilify to start working for me when I was first put on it.

I’m sorry you’re suffering @Anna1. I’m suffering too. I have to force myself to do everything. Also I don’t know if that’s because of the meds or the disease. But I think it’s because of the disease.
