Why is this so hard?

Do you think you just don't want to deal with the side effects? Do you think the meds "kill" your personality? These are the things that make me dislike psych meds. Have you thought about trying a lower dose? I am guilty of occassinally breaking pills in half and experimenting with skipping doses. When I look at the decisions I have made in the past when I am off my medication, it makes me realize that I need to continue to take it. Some of my threads and PMs are reminders about how I can get.
