Do meds make you less violent?

What do y’all think?

I was never violent before medication, I don’t know maybe just me.

If I was any less violent than I am already I would be in a coma.

Yes it does, I get angry and keeps it under control.
The max violent thing I have done is I broke my phone.

I love this assumption that SZ = violent.

Yes, I’ll defend myself. No, I won’t attack someone first. That’s not how I roll.

I never said sz = violent. I was talking of the few cases who admit they’re violent

Take a look at the subject line of your post and the community you posted it in. It’s sort of like walking into a room full of black people and asking if they’re trying to cut back on their fried chicken consumption.

I’m sorry but I was violent while delusional. I wasn’t trying to be offending towards anyone

Unfortunately some extremely paranoid patients can pose a danger to others.
I can get pretty aggressive when I’m unmedicated

I become pretty agitated when experiencing full blown psychosis and mania.

My paranoia levels become extreme.

Yeah, the title is misleading.

The sad fact is more people with mental illness are victims of violence than perpetrators.
