I skipped meds today as its holiday. I want to stay up all night and meds make me sleepy. 2 months ago I skipped meds for 10 days at the end felt like symptoms were going to appear
Taking meds is like prison. Hate that I need pills to stay normal
Make sure you take it in the morning if you don’t wanna take it tonight .
Untreated psychosis and symptoms can help you end up in prison.
I’m not sure what your equating to the prison deal but most symptoms I’ve seen you describe were there before meds anyways. It’s probably not the meds making you feel the way you are and they are in all likely hood helping you better than you think.
Just seen far too many people come unstuck over the years on that route but your an adult and you need to make those decisions. Just don’t be surprised if someone tells you it’s a dumb move and policy in the short term and even in the long term.

I’d say don’t take a chance by going more than one day without your meds. Don’t fool yourself into thinking it’s all right. Because it won’t be if you stop taking them for long. I’ve been there and it’s a setback in a big way.

Psych meds don’t scare me it’s the heart meds I wish I didn’t have to take.

In the mornings, I sometimes take all the meds (including the 10 mg of Abilify), and then I don’t check them off in my planner, and later in the morning I’m not sure if I already took them, so I don’t take them because I don’t want to double dose. I notice I have more voices in the evening (an indicator that I did miss them altogether), and into the next day. It’s nothing horrible. Just don’t skip too many days.
