I just feel like the meds is affecting me in a bad way even though all people around me doesn’t think so.A few years ago I blamed taking antipsychotic causes me not being able to get a gf because of sexual issue.Now I am married,everyone tell me to always take my daily meds,but this part of me deep down just hated the meds.Its a drag to take them and felt like poison even though it isn’t.What should I do,I always dislike taking medication…
What is it about taking the medication that you dislike? Ask yourself for a specific answer. Is it to do with shame, intolerance, suspicion that they aren’t necessary, anger that you need them, other?
I think I am sad and disappointed I needed them,plus after taking them I felt tired and just less confidence to deal with the day.While stopping them a few times before I got more willpower…always end up back to them for different reason…mine is a mild case of sz,that’s why I am taking only low dose
Think of it just like taking an aspirin a day…if it keeps you on the rails then it can only be a good thing.
I get Abilify injections every 3 weeks! Now THAT is cumbersome, but I still know I need to do it. I’ve had 5 Hospital stays after various relapses.
How do you know you only have a mild case of sz? Is that what your pdoc said?
Maybe try a different med? And get exercise for sure.
Don’t blame yourself for needing the medication. It’s like someone with a broken leg getting upset with themselves because they need a cast. The illness is plenty physical.
Think about the long term. Will you be more productive and a better husband on the medication with slight tiredness, or off the medication going up and down like a roller coaster?
I think if you stay on the medication long enough, the doctors will try to decrease your dose to the minimum you can manage.

I am greedy,in the sense I want my life to be perfect as how I wanted it to be.Isnt all normie want to take 100% control of them self?
I’m no expert, but from my limited experience, NO ONE gets the perfect life, even high achieving people without chronic illnesses.
I’m in the middle of learning that my body and mind won’t bend to my will. This is why find it so hard to lose weight, stop drinking alcohol, etc.
IMHO, there’s nothing wrong with trying to make things better, but you have to start from an understanding that you have an unconscious that wants it’s own things.
