If you were still symptomatic with meds would you even take them?

I guess without meds would be even worse (full blown psychosis). Cannot live like that.

I still hear voices on meds but they’re a LOT worse off meds. Mostly now they just say my name but off meds they tell me to do stuff. Please stay on your meds!!!

I’m told I’m still delusional on my meds. But I take them because I can function so much better on them.

I also have breakthrough symptoms like hearing voices and some mini episodes of delusional thinking but without meds I’m incapacitated by it.

My voices are bad even on meds lately. I’m gonna try and go off them and see if it gets worse. You don’t know until you try I guess.

Sorry about your boyfriend situation he should really help with the bills if he really cares about you. @Moon

Meds never stopped everything for me. Just tamps things down to a manageable level

I could be making a mistake going off meds but I’ll just have to find out. :crossed_fingers:

Ive done both. My problem is controlling mania/delusions lack of insight. I seem to be fine off meds until an episode of mania rears itself. I still hear voices in the background but i can deal with that

I stopped them because of the same thing then realized how bad of an idea that was.

Last time I stopped them it was a total disaster.

I would never stop my meds again. Antipsychotic at least.

It’s a last line of defense for us.

I have always heard voices despite meds.

I wouldn’t go off them.

I would be locked up if I didn’t take my meds.

Things could get unmanageable without meds
Please stay on your meds
