I need someone to talk some sense into me. I feel like I want to discontinue meds because I want the truth to come out and expose any lies. But there’s risk of the nuclear fallout as well. How do I handle this?

Keep taking your meds. You’ll just end up in hospital again otherwise.

I don’t know why I get these doubts but it scares me. I just want the truth to come out.

You’re not going to get any “truth” from discontinue your meds. I’m not understanding what you’re expecting from med discontinuation.

You couldn’t possibly be faking a mental illness if we can go by all the stuff you’ve told us over the years. You’ve really suffered and had symptoms that I strongly doubt you’ve been making up. It’s too bad you have to go through all this but it will be worse if you stop your meds. Stay on your meds and save yourself the agony of a relapse.

Why do I feel as if I faked it? Is this common?

I’ve felt that way a long time ago and I’ve heard other people say it too, even when they’re obviously delusional.

I think everybody gets a personality change when taking meds, especially AP’s. It’s not you faking it. It’s the side effect of the meds. But we have to take them or we are faced with a even worse predicament.

You’ve been posting here for years, there’s no way you could have faked all that. It really happened. They don’t put people in the hospital for no reason.

Stay on your meds @Hadeda or you will be back in the hospital for possibly a long time, I’m talking months.
Plus if you come off your meds completely they may no longer work as well when you go back on them.

I think what worried me and why I doubted was because my pdoc made comment about taking me off my mood stabilizer eventually. I’m thinking hello I have sza how can I cope without mood stabilizer when I’ve had bipolar type sza???
I know I want to be on less meds but the man is too extreme isn’t he?
I wouldn’t worry about it. You can just make a deal with him that if you can’t cope without it you go back on it, but I would definitly try to do as the doctor says. It will be good for you if it is possible to be on less meds.

Well, a doctor knows a lot but he doesn’t know everything. You should work together on your mental health needs and assert yourself when it’s needed. If you have your doubts about getting off a mood stabilizer then tell him how you feel about it. He’s just trying to do what he thinks is best for you but don’t be afraid to speak up and voice your fears.
