Currently on 5 scheduled psych meds as well as a PRN. I also take several blood pressure meds, fish oil, Vitamin D3, and metformin for my diabetes. At some point I'd like to not be on 2 anti-psychotics, but obviously I need them right now because life is beating me up badly, and yet I'm handling it with some equanimity. I wasn't handling it well on only the one.

Of course, I'd REALLY like to not have to take meds period, but that's not in the cards and I know it. I'm not ashamed of it anymore, except when some healthcare worker looks at my med list and then at me like I'm some kind of psycho.
