  • I can only imagine what it’s like to be on meds that affect your quality of life negatively both on and off the medication. I hope you consult your doctor before making drastic changes. Perhaps there is a dosage which provides a middle ground.

    Full disclosure, I lost a cousin to paranoid schizophrenia after he moved away and got off his meds, so I am biased.
