Serious warning to people taking anti psychotics

Risk of death in road traffic accident 1,100 times greater than homicide by a stranger with psychosis | recovery network: Toronto

Don't worry about harming others due to your psychosis, you actually are harming yourself by allowing yourself to take the medication. You are important to, worry about yourself and your own health. Don't let a bad experience ruin your life, if you are ready to stop the medication do so. Your brain is going to stop shrinking, maybe even grow back to its normal functional state.

I am worrying about my own health. I'm not okay when I'm psychotic. I wouldn't call what I had a bad experience, I'd call it hell. My psychosis nearly ruined my life and that of my family. I can't knowing do that again.

Psychosis, mania and depression shrink your brain and are severely disabling and ruining life. I'd rather have a shrinking brain from meds and not suffer from the aforementioned.
And yes, I tried veggy, yoga, meditation, green tea, running, cold showers, abstinence from any substance..:

I take Geodon and I have no side effects that I am aware of. I can cognize just as well as before I had schizophrenia and the list of other illnesses that came from its treatment. I write and research like never before to perfect and prune my ideas with power, poetry, and prose. For me, I have no choice, I must take my medicine. Nevertheless, some meds are better for others. When I was put on Risperdone I couldn't cognize what people were saying and constantly had to ask them to repeat themselves. After the weight gain, the memory loss, vision impairment, and many other issues I was put on Geodon an atypical anti psychotic. Like I said, no noticeable side effects whether weight gain or affect. Perhaps if people find the right drug, if there is one, that best suits them then maybe it will do less damage if at all. I really don't fear about brain shrinkage as long as I exercise it and have a healthy diet, rich with omega 3's, vitamins, and minerals. Over the past, what 4 years now, I feel more lucid than before. I sit here at the library right now using alliteration and end rhyme with highly technical terms. Elyn Sacks seems to be okay after battling it for nearly her entire life. As time goes on people generally lose certain capacities due to brain plasticity. Feelings aren't felt so heavily. Artistic and arithmatic creativity decline around 35, generally speaking. Still, men and women can do philosophy easily until there around 60, then that capacity starts to decline, generally speaking. Its sad but true. I know if I went without my meds it would create the worst of all possible worlds again, and that stress diminishes certain capacities. Maybe it would be worse for your brain if one lives in a psychosis split from reality. Mine would be. In this light it then preserves as much as it can.

You're seeing it in black and white when there is grey and every other shade of color to your train of thinking. You say these are brain shrinking when they can preserve one's. Frankly, you remind me of a man that was an atheist which had to tell every theist that they are living a delusion. He was fanatical only seeing one side of the arguments when there are many different perspectives to look at.

You tell me not to post in this thread because I can't live without my meds but you came to this forum, this illness, these meds. If you don't want members to post in your thread because you don't wish them then you don't understand the idea of what a forum is. I understand what it is to have an idea that is like a brick. This brick is backed up by many other bricks which form a wall. Ideas are like bricks because they build on one another. When we build a brick wall of ideas too tough to knock down then we might be considered... Ill leave you to insert your thought on this so to fill in the ellipsis.

What you are doing to yourself right now should hurt you family very badly. They should hate the idea of you taking drugs that destroy your ability to maintain a life worthy of living, life on those drugs is not one worthy of existence. Be free, live a life worth living.

You are making a lot of assumptions about other people and their lives... it's fine if you don't think you need meds and don't agree with taking them but I'm gonna go ahead and tell you that you're not gonna force others here to adopt your beliefs...it's just not gonna work

What I'm doing now is saving my family. What hurts my family is when I'm psychotic. When I make false reports about someone hurting my kids causing CPS to interview them. When I spend the better half of a month in the hospital, that hurts my family. Meds gave me my life back. I now feel like my life is worth living.
I understand that meds may not be for everyone. Maybe you don't need them, but there are a lot of us that do. I'm sza and that's not going to change if I stop taking meds.

Sorry, folks, this thread is getting a little too heated. I'm going to close it while we discuss what it would take to safely keep it going.
