My pdoc told me that it's okay for me to forget to take my 0.75 mg Risperdal because it's not important.
I think it's mostly a placebo for me. LOL
Now I'm wondering if my pdoc continues to give me meds as placebos. I'm not sure she really believes I need meds. She's more into psychotherapy.
Although, she did tell me that the Celexa and Wellbutrin were important... I wonder how she knows? Maybe it's just a hunch? I don't know. We don't really talk about meds.
Maybe meds are like candy for me. Maybe it's the act of taking them that makes me happy. LOL Mmmmmm...candy.

I don't. I'm not sure if you were looking for feedback, or not, but I am convinced your Risperdal is an important component to your wellness, at this point in time. What I think is wonderful is that you don't feel side effects. To be able to compare your meds to candy is really a lucky thing for you.

I don't think my pdoc thinks I need it. I think she's just continuing to give it to me just to keep things the same.

Deneb don't go off your meds listen to Lar has he lead you wrong yet? You have been l00% better since you were on meds especially the resperidol. I bet you couldn't have attended the babble party if you were not on your meds. Please don't try to stop taking them. They work for you!!!!!!Love Phillipa

OK Phillipa, I will take my meds.
Thanks for your opinion. Thanks for caring.
Maybe I shouldn't tempt fate right now. I should probably take them until I have my life on track.
I just feel good enough to stop taking stuff. I dunno, maybe I need them. It just worries me a bit how long I will need to take them for. I don't plan on taking meds for the rest of my life.

> Deneb*Who said anything about the rest of your life? Make sure you're answering the correct question, when you consider any medication change.
Deneb, I saw you in real life. You have episodes of profound depersonalization. You talk about them, all the time. They're visible to the world. I think there is more to being well than being happy.

Yeah, I think I know what you mean about happiness not being enough. I have to reach my full potential too, reach the level of self actualization. I'm nowhere near where I want to be in life right now.
I think my pdoc wants me to take meds until I'm (finally) finished with my degree and have a job.
