I take meds twice a day, everyday. If I miss a dose I don’t feel right. It only takes about 3 days for most of my meds to go out of my system so I’m pretty careful.

One of the worst things about medication is that it weakens me so much physically. The typical ap’s leave me brain dead too. But I live with people who are weakened by medication too, so I don’t have to worry about being beat up. I hate the physical drain, though.
I take my meds every day. If I skip even one dose of my antipsychotic, my thoughts become chaotic.
Yes and I’m a big believer in taking them same time everyday. I have morning meds and night meds and keep to a routine. Helps not miss doses.
I take my meds every day too.
I do but I am taking myself off them gradually.
The Amisulpride I am dropping by 200mg a day for two weeks, and if successful, it will be another 200mg.

No, i skip days accidently and it is okay, unless i forget too many days, then im having withdrawals.
Im on 0.5mg Haldol. I withdrew to 0.3mg. This tiny change already caused issues. No delusions, but feeling sad and angry. I hope these are withdrawals and nothing permanent. I want to be off meds.
I used to stop taking my pills cause I was afraid of side effects. Now they give me a injection so I don’t get unwell wen I stop my pills
Oh God no. If i dont get my 12 hours of sleep and take my Quetiapine im an anxious paranoid mess.
Im on the monthly jab too - but i gotta do both. Which is why the chemist winds me up when they havent done my refill or decide to close early. They dont realise i rely on the bloody things.
I take my meds most of the time. Delusions and hallucinations still here though
I take my meds every day but sometimes I adjust the dose myself. If I don’t take them then within a week I have agitation and weird jumbled thoughts and severe depression
I take my meds, morning noon night
I’m decent about taking Abilify every day-- think I’ve only missed a dose like, three times since I started it about a year and a half ago.
Sometimes I forget to take the Zoloft though, as I fall asleep before getting a chance to take it.
Have defos noticed my thoughts are a bit more screwy than usual when I miss a dose.
I take them everyday: morning and night. I tried stopping them and it was a catastrophy.
I think I’m taking my meds…or are they taking me? Well better that than a “episode” i guess.

I always take my meds. I have a medication reminder app on my phone that goes off when it’s time to take them so I never forget

What’s your diagnosis? That’s a low dose for schizophrenia. Maybe you just have psychotic depression.

They changed it a billion times. I dont think they really know. Currently it is c-ptsd + (premenstrual) psychotic depression. There might be some underlying thing, like ADD, though that too may be stress-induced.
It was sz before, but i didnt believe them and now they changed it. But…

yep, i always take my meds!
I take meds twice a day and always always take them. Sometimes when I forget to refill my weekly pill container thing I’ll forget my cymbalta, but that is a really terrible need to forget to take. Lots of withdrawal side effects. So usually after 2 days off that I realize why I’m feeling terrible and fix it.
AP I never forget to take. I go crazy pretty fast without it.
