Its sucks, is it the pills or me ?
What you think ?
Schizophrenia can make you lose your dignity. Medicine can make you fat. Both together can make you lazy. Don’t feel bad.

Probably both, but the pills is a lot of it. I was a gym rat until I started taking meds for sz. Well, not actually. When I was on abilify I was still lifting and running every day, but that was the first med they tried and it caused other issues (hypersexuality and severe impulsiveness) so I didn’t stay in it too long. The next they tried was saphris and I gained 100+ pounds in 6 months I never made it to the gym, just rode my bike around home. It was ■■■■■■■ miserable. It got harder and harder every day until I just stopped exercising at all and it was miserable.
I’m hyperactive and impulsive anyways because I’ve got ADHD, and depending on the needs I’m on I just sit there starting at the walls losing my mind. That’s not because I’m lazy. That’s because I’m literally incapable of doing things.
So, I think it really depends. If you were lazy before the meds, it’s probably only going to be exacerbated by the meds. If you weren’t, it’s definitely the meds.

My gf says, get your act together. So did my mum and dad, but they didn’t stop pushing me to the limits. I am a born suicidal i believe.
Dude meds are like tranquilers. It’s definately not laziness especially if your on a high dose.

Its is probably a combo of med, attitude and illness.

I like to think it’s the meds/sz’s fault for my laziness but I’m sure also part of it is my fault
