No, you should take your pills. Those aren't the kind of pills you stop taking when you're better.

    From what you write, I feel you know nothing about the business of psychiatry, I'm prescribed antipsychotics while not having any psychosis or symptoms that could be helped by its use, I've been prescribed wrong things multiple times in the past aswell, and being told "just believe this doctor because the doctor is the authority and knows best" some of the meds i have taken in the doses i was prescribed back when i trusted the doctors made me actually suicidal (outside of the organ damage of course)

    You will know if you ever get into taking psychiatric meds and how that works. I WISH it wasn't like this, I really do. But it just isn't. I was never warned of any side effects short or long term by any of my doctors, and when i had them, unless they were like super apparent like not sleeping for 4 days or something, they were hand waved away.

    My intention is not to be mean or dismissive to you, but I do feel in this one case at least, you don't have the experience required to know how it works in reality (and not only what the media tells you "stay on your meds!")

    I do take some pills selectively as I've read on them and their usefulness in my case, even suggesting pill changes in my schema, to pretty good success actually.

    This whole thread seems like a paranoid psychosis symptom. Because you stopped your meds, you're no longer feeling well. You just can't tell.

    I may or may not know "the business of psychiatry", but your psychiatrists definitely do. So do mine. I'm not trying to be mean, here, either.

    I mean, I appreciate the concern, even if you are wrong is really nice to know there are people concerned about the well being of strangers like that online, and because I can't reasonably prove to you or convince you of my mental state (not that I would even need to try to do that, as you are a rando on the internet) I think there's no use on trying further to explain the situation.

    In any case, thanks a lot for the kind words and concern given so selflessly.
