How do you handle this aspect of your medication regiment without being called non-compliant? Is there a happy medium?

I get exactly what you mean! I want to go off meds because 1, they don't work! (for me anyway) 2, I want to be able to have kids in the near future, 3, some of them are habit forming, and 4, for me it's a big waste of time and money.
I don't think psychiatrists will exactly embrace the idea of a patient not taking meds, after all, that's why we see them. I am looking into seeing a naturopathic doctor, to approach it differently. After all, there isn't much else left to try.
Good luck!
