So I'll wait. You have your reasons - But you should wait too. You're doing so well rn =] Always make sure that the psychiatrist says it's okay - Cuz I've been down the long road of self medicating, changing meds myself. It didn't really help.

Only once I started to work with the treatment team, I got better. Not to say that my experimenting didn't help... It's just that I was lucky. Miracle I'm still alive.

Yeah I should probably leave things alone for now.
Once I’m working it’s probably gonna be a little stressful and probably not the best time to be messing with meds.

Maybe once I get a year of working and school done I can see about coming off the APs, and just be on my mood stabilizer and AD. Who knows. It just seems like psychosis hasn’t been an issue for a few months now. Maybe it’s because of the meds. I’m not sure. But I’m doing better than I have in years so probably not the best time to mess with them

I was frustrated about losing weight. But I weighed myself this morning and I was 163 lbs , down from 167 lbs. so I am losing, just very slowly. I just have to be patient.
