hi every one I know no body can give me medication advice as such but some support will be great . As you all know I suffer with schizophrenia. I’m on a lot of medication which has caused me to suffer with horrendous panic attacks , my sight has deteriorated , I have a glazed stare that’s how my eyes look like I’m looking threw you and I cry for no reason randomly I have also gained a ton of weight . I don’t like how anti psychotics make me feel . I have decided to come off them I’m on a injection for my main meds so it’s hard to come off it with out people knowing so I decided to talk to my nurse bout it and she didn’t listen at all to me she said I need to see the consultant only he can decide but it’s my body and I’m sick of being like this .

    Hey @cupcake88 Sorry to hear you're having a tough time, but I'd strongly urge you not to just quit your medication as that can be seriously dangerous to your health, especially your mental health. Maybe speak to the consultant about tapering off them?
