This is one reason why I'm against forced medication (as well as forced ECT and psychosurgeries). I'm not saying meds are bad, necessarily, but I don't like that, on some forums, criticizing meds isn't well-received. To some, it's unsupportive, but I've been on several kinds of psych meds for 39 years, and I base my opinions on that and what I've read, watched, and researched. And finding a psychiatrist or a doctor who will support you tapering off, if that's what you want to do, isn't easy. But it's your body, and it should be your choice.
