@Shaz51 Hi Shaz I am sorry mr shaz is doing badly ... well you know that is my big question about my medication atm .... maybe you can write up a list of the plus's and minus's of staying and going off them. That is my only suggestion. Wish I could come up with something more concrete than that.

@Shaz51 Thank you for putting it all into perspective (I might need a reminder every so often) ... I shouldn't be a whingey lil pea. I hope the 14 pills a day is far, far away for you my birdie friend 🙂

Hi @Shaz51

Instead of "all or nothing" you could suggest a reduction in dose, as a trial. Mr S might be happy with that and psych might agree as a way to keep him on the meds. As you know, any change takes a while to have an effect.
