I don’t think I do, because that’s not personal. I wish my mother had and would take her anti depressants. That contributed to her starting fights with me that contributed to my being hospitalized some times.

Sorry to hear that.Why would you want her to take her medicine?
I don’t at all. For one thing not every schizophrenic is severely affected enough to require meds or even as many meds as they may be prescribed. Hey if you don’t absolutely need that crap you definitely shouldn’t take it. My measure on that is "Can you function in society without the meds? Then don’t take them. But if you can’t then by all means take your meds. But if the meds don’t help one iota take something else. And if you go through the A-Z med catalog and nothing helps find a way to live with the voices and throw that crap away.

I can function.I stopped meds for a year and still work and do stuff,my problem is I am asocial.Even with meds I am still asocial.
I took my meds for my wife,which sounds illogical and not a scientific reason
I have a feeling it would help her have more control over herself and maybe not feel so bad inside.
Tbh though I wonder for how long in my life she’s ever been stable on meds.
Sometimes I wonder how I can still care about her at all with the way she has treated me at times.
I guess once you are on your own, no one can force meds on you, particularly when things look good from the outside.
I’ve never gotten into a discussion of “What meds worked? Could you take that again?” Thing is she could just fly into unrelenting anger and make things hard on me.
You meant she is losing control…
I don’t feel badly about other people not taking meds if they have a good reason.
But if someone is clearly psychotic and refuses meds for bullshite reasons, yeah, I think badly of them.
Meds can help, once you find the right ones. Choosing to suffer without them and then complaining about suffering without them, yet refusing to even try the opportunity, that pisses me off.
Unless, like I said, there is a valid reason. But that is very rare.
I never complained when off meds.i always complain when I am on them and I choose to be on them,I can’t reason with others around because my uncle is a doctor he believe I need to take thrm
No. Doesn’t bother me. It’s not my psyche.

No it doesn’t bother me because I can understand - I went off meds myself and can sympathise with others wanting to do the same. Although most of the time it’s not a good idea.

I think people not taking their meds have the potential to be dangerous to themselves and others. That bothers me. I think we should take our meds unless we are working with a pdoc who agrees to do otherwise
