I keep avoiding taking them, even after several reminders. I'll play with them in my hands, break open the capsules and play with the dust (I'm on lithium), or just flat out lie to my SO and say I took them when I didn't...
I know I'm depressed, and this is something I would normally never do, but I don't even think about it. Even looking at my meds makes me nervous or nauseous, or angry. And I know theres probably some really bad consequences about it but idk.... I'm seriously thinking of just going off them completely at this point.

Upgrade to Lithium ER. More expensive, but not capsules but tablets, so you would not be able to play with the dust, and, Lithium ER would not make you nauseous.

I hope changing to a different Lithium helps. It would be sad for you to go off meds because of nauseous.

I think the nauseous OP mentions is of psychological kind...
I think you should sit down and think how and if the meds are helping and if it at all... maybe you need something different. Or maybe if you been medicated for a while and not much results... time to go back to scratch and see the real you... what you describe can be either self-sabotaging behaviour or your body and mind subconsciously rejecting the treatment. None of these will be solved by just switching to fancier type of lithium, imho.

Yes, I see, OP gets nauseous fro looking at meds, so before taking them. Not after.
