I take two antipsychotics, every day. I can't even imagine life without them, as much as I wish I could cut down on meds. They keep me stable and allow me to live my best life. Every now and then I get too big for my britches and think I can get along without them, but I usually run into trouble quickly and realize that I really DO need both APs and other mood stabilizers to keep me in line. Sometimes I wish I could make do with a single mood stabilizer, an antidepressant and an AP, but it's probably not in the cards so I just deal with it and try to remember how bad off I was before all these meds came into my life.
