I stopped taking my meds for 6 months. When I started taking them again in January, I felt so much better. My symptoms are so much less and I'm able to function. I'm on disability though so I don't have to work and I have a chance to enjoy things and have bad days if I want. If you do things they have to be for YOU or it doesn't matter. In the end, you have only you to make happy. If your meds have too many side effects, get new meds.
