Messing with my meds always screws me up. Especially when I mess with my APs, sleep becomes practically non existent. It's hard to see it at the time but things can escalate fast. After many times doing that I've finally learned not to mess with them, and if I want or need a change for some reason then I consult my psychiatrist first. Since taking my meds regularly I've been more stable than I've ever was.

Every time I've talked to ANY pdoc about not wanting specific meds, they try to convince me to take them and threaten to not prescribe anything if I don't take the med that I'm complaining about. There's no middle ground. It's all or nothing. They do say, "Well, we can try another med," but I say I don't like that class of meds because of XYZ. Then they say, "You're going to take _____. I'm prescribing it to you." Yeah, like that makes me want to take it... How about having a conversation with me? And not a 5 minute one to rush me out the door.
