I have accepted that if they help me to function, there is every reason to take them and no reason not to take them, just like someone that has high blood pressure takes their meds or a diabetic takes their insulin to stay safe and healthy.
I hope all is going really well for you and wishing you the best as you move forward. ((((((bluecupcake)))))

Thank you Fresia for your kind words and support

I stopped taking my meds because my Pdoc recently had me do blood work and she said my cholesterol was high and that geodon causes diabetes. Diabetes runs in my family and I want to avoid it if I can. But like you said, our meds help us be our best. And I really can't afford to go off the geodon. I don't function well without it.
I hope all is going well with you too. Bless you
