They don’t even take away the voices or delusions. I return to this piece of crap apartment with trash everywhere, it’s 80 degrees out and they still haven’t turned the cool air on. The meds kill all my motivation.
I am just sick of everything.
I am starting to really believe I am not even “sick.” I think I am just gifted from the spirits of my ancestors.
I am going to talk to my pdoc about taking me off the meds. I have been on almost every AP except clozaril.
I hope you feel better. I agree about talking to your doctor. I hope they turn on the cool air. I had to turn on the cool air today for the first time this year. A cool shower can help. If I could, I would help you pick up the trash to make your surroundings more peaceful. Take care. 
That’s very sweet of you Thank you.
I hate taking meds as well. This time I want to try to follow the doctor’s orders. My psychiatrist mentioned lowering the dosage somewhere down the line. I’ve read Ish was able to go off meds with a doctor’s support. I want to try that even if it takes a couple of years. I’m going to ask my psychiatrist one day what he thinks. My goal is to stay out of the hospital.
Yeah I understand @anon40653964 I blame all my panic attacks on the abilify. And the only thing the loxapine does for me is help me sleep. But good sleep can also be obtained through diet and exercise.
I hope your pdoc is willing to work with you on your goal. Hats off to Ish for being able to come off the AP’s. Take care and I hope you don’t have to go into the hospital 
I am also tired of meds. I take 10 pills every day. Different meds. And add anxiety and sleeping pills to that.
İf medicine doesn t help your halucinations so its nonsense to take it.at least you can feel your emotions and pleasure of this life.good luck.
It is important to note that ish doesn’t have schizophrenia. She has bipolar. Antipsychotics are not always used to treat bipolar disorder.
I wasn’t sure. Unfortunately it seems for schizophrenia, treatment is a life long journey. Oh well.
I’ve been sick of meds for over 20 years. Hope to be sick of them for another 30 years.
