I used to think I was on too many meds. Then I had a breakthrough manic episode this spring that showed me I wasn't. I was chagrined to find out that I was still prone to cycling despite six meds (seven if you include the thyroid pill I was given to prevent depression) and had to accept an increase in one of them. So much for coming off antipsychotics...that was my goal, but it's never going to happen.
