I don’t know why but lately I’ve been struggling again with not wanting to take my medications. I’m on an injectable antipsychotic so that part is not the issue. But I’m also on lithium and Prozac and Metformin and a couple other things and lately I just haven’t felt like taking them. I’m wondering what would happen if I stopped. I know nobody will recommend me stopping without a doctors orders but I’m still curious.

Not taking them could kill you. Especially not taking metformin.

@Hanna_Foxx, You need to continue taking your medications. All of them. Your medications are, all of them, life preserving. You could die of suicide or ketoacidosis by not taking them.

Every night when I take rexulti I think about it. But if it wasn’t for meds I wouldn’t be somewhat sane.
Once in a while I’ll get the urge to skip my afternoon dose of Depakote but I always end up taking it.
Skipping your doses of meds can prove fatal.
Take your meds @Hanna_Foxx.
I felt like that the other day. I felt like planning on quitting two months earlier than I was meant to (that wasn’t then but later ahead in the future) . Its so tempting but I decided no. I need to see if I can settle OK on these meds for the chance of a future relapse and plus I was told my risk of relapse would increase if going off two months earlier than planned
Amyloban 3399 has somehow healed my symptoms enough that I’m able to reduce my antipsychotics. I used to be on 12 mg Paliperidone and 2 mg Haldol and still hearing mumbles, and now I’m on 1 mg Haldol and 3 mg Paliperidone, and my positive symptoms are just dead.
