Does all schizophrenics take meds?

What would happen if I stop taking meds? What if I didn’t believe in the process of testing meds on animals and people who need easy money? I mean I’m a Christian and I should be healed with prayer.

Prayer doesn’t do anything except ease your mind. Only meds can help with sz and sza symptoms.

I stopped my meds and tried that. It didn’t work, I ended up being hospitalized.

Not all people with schizophrenia take meds. Unfortunately it’s up to your doctor whether your on them or not.

Do you know someone with schizophrenia that doesn’t take meds for life?

Mixing religion and schizophrenia is a bad idea. Eat your meds!

I hope you don’t ever have a burst appendix.

there’s a risk of relapse if you quit your meds.
maybe you’ll end up in hospital and have to do it all again. and maybe you will end up with a higher dose

Only a few, but they are very rare. The ones I know also aren’t religious at all.

Edit: Crap. Zombie thread. @columbus would you stop unearthing this crud, you dingus?!?

@columbus . Please look at the date on posts in the medication section. You’ve been warned before about opening up long dead threads. Anything over 3 months we usually move on. A suspension will be next as it is in our rules about zombie threads. If you want to explore the subject start a new thread.
