...because I'm never consistent on them. In fact, I've lately been taking them every other day ish. It's more like:

take
take
skip
take
skip
skip
take
skip
take

I just don't care anymore. I don't take anything seriously.

Lamictal, Lexapro, Rexulti, Klonopin, and Ritalin

I don't even take the Ritalin

It's like I just don't care. It's not a depressive "I don't care about anything" type of thought. It's more like, "Ehhh. who cares? Whatever. I'll live. Lived without medication for many years already."

I just discovered that rexulti is like abilify and can cause hypomania.
There is a law suit pending.

have you ever tried geodon?

I don't know what you should do; that's a decision I've never considered because I personally clearly need medication and too miserable off it to not take it. But I will caution you that taking meds haphazardly can lead to the meds not working anymore later. This is more true for some meds than others with lithium being the worst I think but it's true for others as well.

Why not just agree to take them as prescribed for 30 days and see how you feel?

I agree with Christina. Takeing the meds inconsistently may be doing more harm than good.
