I just checked your blog and you haven't written there since November.
I'm just wondering if talking about what your dealing with would help you...
You'd probably receive lots of great, helpful advice

Getting off medications can result in a psychotic episode that can KILL YOU. You're already on edge and have been on edge even when you were taking your medicine.
Also, I really hate to say this but you sounded a hell of a lot better when you were on the injections. Sure you still had issues but you sounded better.
There's a reason medications exist, they are there to help. I know, I'm a huge hypocrite and need to work on medication compliance myself, but still... you are risking your life here. Also, you don't want to spiral into an eating disorder. That will just make EVERYTHING worse(voice of experience talking here), and I do mean everything. You'll stop sleeping at night because you're starving, which will then make your psychosis even worse. It's not a good cycle.
Sorry for the blunt post, I'm just worried about you and I would hate to see you back in the hospital and then back on the injections that you hated so much. Why not just take the pills and have some control over your life? I know it sucks to take them, but without them you are in trouble. Every time you've gotten off your meds you've gotten into serious trouble.
