Yes, the only med I'm on now daily is an antipsychotic (clozapine). I used to be on a lot more but since I've been stable I got off of them. I don't know if I'll be on clozapine forever, but it sure has helped with my stability immensely.

Man.... yall are making me skittish about next week. I'd really love the paranoia to "go away and never come back." I can challenge it to some extent by splitting rational thought from emotional thought, and only acting in the physical world based on rational thought; but that also breaks my ability to emotionally connect with people, even family. (I can fake it a little, but there is no "make it") If that could die in the same way the "up" died, I'd put up with seriously annoying stuff to get there.
But most on APs here, seem to want off.... __________________ BD 1; Abilify, Wellbutrin |

rrwwff- It's not the AP I want off it's all meds. I don't even take Tylenol. The shot of the AP is a good compromise for me. My other med is chew-able tastes bad but I can take it.

I'm on an antipsychotic and have no desire to get off. One AP is the sole reason I got out of the hospital the first time. It was the first time in years that my thoughts affected my feelings. I just want to be stable and hopefully happy. I'm content to take meds if that's how I get there.

This is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.|
