Hi i am on 9 different medications a day and i hate it..they always say that its a balance between being drowsy (good) and being suicidal/psychotic (bad).
i dont believe it because i have been on the same meds for years now - including two different antipsychotics.. you are supposed to call this living when everyone says you are tired all the time, and i cant hold down or even get a job because of how doped out i am.
living sux at times

Hey @soppykat,
Talking to someone can have a real uplift effect at the moment when we don't feel that great. I encourage you to reach out and not go through it on your own.
Thank you for getting back to me and I'm glad you reach out for support here at the Forums!
Regards
RiverSeal
