This is how I think of psych meds--

Sometimes we have to have them to function, relieve our suffering, etc. but it seems like many make us numb or have side effects. Many are addictive or cause us to change so cutting back is hard but if you can, I recommend reducing them. When I was younger, some relationships felt like an antidepressant (I was not taking any psych drugs back then)--think of the song:

I Want a New Drug
Huey Lewis
Oh
I want a new drug, one that won't make me sick
One that won't make me crash my car
Or make me feel feet, feet, feet thick
I want a new drug, one that won't hurt my head
One that won't make my mouth too dry
Or make my eyes too red
One that won't make me nervous
Wonderin' what to do
One that makes me feel like I feel when I'm with you
When I'm alone with you
I want a new drug, one that won't spill
One that don't cost too much
Or come in a pill
I want a new drug, one that won't go away
One that won't keep me up all night
One that won't make me sleep all day
One that won't make me nervous
Wonderin' what to do
One that makes me feel like I feel when I'm with you

I wonder if your drugs could be interfering with a potential relationship with your friend. When I decrease my anxiety medications--I am more responsive to my husband both physically and mentally.
