Like the physical effects or chemicals? I dont have much of a choice though with regards to needing med. I worry so much about everything else, this is just a new worry.

you can discuss with your psychiatrist or pharmacist the side affects of the meds you use and other possible options with fewer side affects (the psychiatrist on the latter probably)

you might also search the particular meds you use at www.psychcentral.com and specify in the upper right search area the med name and side affects.

I worry about the cumulative effects of so many meds and so many years of taking them. But then, the way I'd be without the meds would be very unhealthy. Mental illness sucks

i worry alot about the effects
hence why im only taking seroquel right now
but my anxiety is all out right now...
im praying that the pdoc understands i had to stop taking zyprexa due to gynecomastia (although minor, noticeable swelling was occurring) it sucks though because now im afraid of everything and feel like i don't have the strength to explain this to any of my health team, i just want to hide from it...

so i guess the smart thing to do would be talk to the doctors before stopping a med
