- anon90556382956 9y ago"Voices hearer" here. I've been mostly off antipsychotics for 7 years now (over 30 yo). If antipsychotics did just cut "voices" down I would be happy to take them, but unfortunately most of them have sedation and motivational side effects that are harder to bear than the "voices" themselves, which also I don't like. However, it comes handy to have them at hand during those occasional periods of insomnia, since my health priority is keeping a solid routine in study, sports and sleep pattern.
- FeepingCreature 9y agoThere is absolutely nothing wrong with you varying your medication in order to manage side effects. That's a very good reason. However, parent said: > and failing that they come off them because they're so ashamed of being mentally ill from all those condescending and "well-meaning" (read: superior) people telling them what to do and how defective they are all the time that they want to prove they can handle it. Which is a really bad reason.
