3. I guess the rest of my post is just rant/concern. SOrry about that.

1) All antipsychotics carry the risk of causing Tardive Dyskinesia, espcially when taken for long periods of time. They are also a known cause of diabetes.
2) When stopping taking a med, not only do your previous symptoms come back, but you're also dealing with any possible withdrawal symptoms from that medication.
3) It's fine
we all need a good rant once in a while
