I post this separately, because they are mostly asides which might have value to someone without my longer post and reply to venusss that precedes it.

So, as maybe an aside, now: I agree/think that calling anyone who is stable/non-psychotic (or at any time, really; even if you are) can be very harmful. Doing it retrospectively when warranted is a different story, of course: might help immensely.

As a (complete) aside: I do think withdrawal from meds should be far more gradual than is customary (as in decades in some cases, maybe even started just after you began taking them). It gives many helpful meds a bad rep. They do (wouldn't go so far as to say absolutely all do) protect your brain. Quick withdrawal can jeopardise all that: cause renewed or worse brain excitation/excitotoxicity

And: really give generics a fair try first. As mentioned before, there is little use in having pharmaceutical companies (sometimes aided by clinicians) reinvent the wheel for profit. Let them focus on understanding what works and what doesn't—and why—first. Then meds can truly be made less harmful or inconvenient, not just very tentatively at first glance.
