Well personally I'm no longer on psych med's (or any other med's either for that matter.) I just never found them to be beneficial enough to make them worth what was involved in taking them. (That's not to say there aren't times when I think perhaps I should consider giving them another try.) Of course, I'm old. And so what works for me is likely to be different than what would work for younger people.

Essentially, what I've done is to arrange my day-to-day life to accommodate my mental health issues. I pretty-much stay at home & keep to myself. I only listen to calm soothing music, I avoid watching anything violent or gory on TV, & I have a pretty-much set routine I follow day-in & day-out. It all helps me to keep myself on an even keel for the most part, as the saying goes. Med's are med's & of course it's certainly good to do whatever you can, in conjunction with your pdoc, to fine tune them. But, to my mind, working on developing a lifestyle that makes you happy... or at least content... is the best place to focus your energy & attention. To my way of thinking if you're not happy, or at least content, I don't believe there's any medication in the world that's going to ameliorate that.
