I understand about the psych med part. My thought are that if it could prevent another psychotic break, then I will take them. However. Now that I'm relatively stable I'm on a low dose of lamictal (100 mg) and a sub therapeutic amount of an antidepressant (50 mg). I don't have any side effects from those meds. I had horrible side effects from others and that is no way to live. I'll take a milligram of risperdal if I feel any psychotic symptoms but that is rare. I think the least amount of meds is best, at least for me.
