Is it normal to be sick of being on pills?

I understand this concern very valid. It is absolutely outrageous that people have to be on so many damn pills because of some other person says so. If you are a consenting adult, I would attempt to go off of each medication one drug at a time. Example would be 1/2 dose for two weeks and then none in the next two weeks. If there are any fatal side affects, then find out why (not just drug with drawl). I used to be on all sorts of medication and voluntarily went off of them against doctors and parents advice and I am healthy and nothing potentially wrong.

I bet you're American.

Unfortunately with mild schizophrenia you should probably be medicated.

You need to discuss all of this with your psychiatrist before you stop or change any dosages.

You sound normal and I bet you do not have any of those things. They just say you do to get money. Nothing will happen if you come off drugs. Just be cool eat healthy and exercise.

Peace!

And the medication should basically fine tune your brain so you should feel happy. Get a gf/bf.

Stay breezy. :)

Okay listen, stay on the meds. You could work your way out of anxiety and insomnia, major depression and bipolar wer probly related so lets make it 1. and 2 schizophrenia just forget about it. TRUST ME. Depending on what the side effects are... You CAN somewhat go around it. With good health. Build up good cardio and eat/sleep well and always always take your pills at the right time. Thats what i do and it works out just fine. And dont listen that idiot who talks about vitamins...darn good luck friend. and maybe i could dig up some infos if you tell more about the negative effects it has on you.

Do not stop the meds unless you want to end up in the hospital or jail. Those are very serious diagnoses.

Medication unfortunately sometimes is needed. My uncle has most of those ailments and he stopped taking his pills and started to really go crazy. Thought people where spying on him and even accused me of being a spy for the government when I saw him at the local shops and it caused alot of heartache and problems between my relatives. His whole family stopped talking to him unless he went back on his pills and he had done this on numerous occasions. His back on them now and is alot better. Don't wean yourself off them without consulting a doctor, you don't want to end up in an asylum!

Nobody has a diagnosis of 5 different illnesses. Since you were that young, I think it's disgusting to be honest. Even if you just took one pill wouldn't be as bad

I went cold turkey off mt meds one time because they were making me so depressed that I was starting to have scary thoughts about how the only reason I have to live is for the sake of my family.. No one should lose interest in their own life and self-worth. I have no idea if it has left any lingering damage by not recovering completely with the help of medication (very possible), but at the time I knew that they were hurting me more than helping.. at least after time had passed from said incident.

So, if you don't feel like you need them then you should DEFINITELY talk to your doctor and parents about how to slowly withdraw from your prescriptions. Long term use can damage your liver, among other health issues, but more importantly: a rapid withdrawal or going cold-turkey could possibly invoke any problems that you might have due to your brain's chemical balance having developed a dependency on that medication. So if you stop them suddenly, the chemicals in your brain could go hay-wire if not done properly. Try to get off them though!

*goodluck :)

i hope i dont sound too harsh when i say this but maybe you are supposed to be on them? my brother has pretty much all of those too and he thinks that he isnt "sick" too but he is and he has to be on medication for the rest of his life. so because i dont know you, i cant give you a proper answer. the only thing i can say is that i hope you get better and one day the doctors can safely take you off the pills and you can be happy again.

stop taking the pills

aww hunny it sounds like u r supposed to be on them although its the same with any other drug u cant just stop until u work out the mental side of it which is the reason why u r on them in the first place.
take care hunn and dont so anything with out a doctors help. xxx

Thats normal and for anyone on drugs you should stop taking those poisons.
Google "mucusless diet healing system and become enlightened.

Err I think you need to stay on your meds based on your mental problems.

That's horrible what ur parents did! U r a human not a lab rat... You need to get off that crap...try just one at a time and take vitamins to replace... God bless!
