I'd do exactly what you're doing. At least you can if necessary go back on the drugs. I'm aware that they are prescribed for a reason,  and although the diagnosis may be correct, your treatment - the key part - apparently isn't doing you any favours. I'd also let a doctor know, though, that you're trying this.

Depends on the doctor I'd say...some don't respect your right to do what you want with your own brain and will freak out about you going off the drugs.

I've been medicated in one form or another since the 7th grade (i am 19 now). if that doesn't say something bad, you must be brain damaged. i've been given adhd, bipolar disorder, and (drumroll please) personality disorder. and i can't even buy alcohal yet!
being on lithium, the ultimate drug of drugs, im deciding to take matters in my own hands. im slowly getting off it because i don't feel feelings anymore, and feelings tend to lead you in life. im going nowwhere cause i feel nothing.
what does this say about america today? i want to know what right someone has to completely reconfigure your emotions for you? especially if your only 12? what else is there to do? im pissed.

I'm having someone to try to teach me emotions properly. I have schizophrenia, antisocial personality disorder and a good amount of narcissism (not a personality disorder as I have minimal flexiblity with it but not much). Due to this, one of the symptoms I have is flat affect, no emotional responses.

I'm not a huge fan of psychiatrists as they seem almost convinced that they can "see" what is wrong with you, as though you're a book or a piece of meat. They also are quite convinced that they can "fix" whatever is wrong by a simple pill; too many times these little pills (i.e. anti-psychotics) have put me more into the shit than I already was before.

You can try to let the doctor know that you're going off the medications. Depending on the doctor, they may try to help you along with this or would rather have you stay on it.

Yeah hellhound, anyone who thinks they can never be wrong and has a huge amount of control over you is pretty dangerous.

Anyway, I could be diagnosed 'schizophrenic' by most psychiatrists due to heightened hearing and strange feelings of accompanyment at night, probably due to some subconscious damage, but I'm completely emotionally stable with full function. I also have total control of myself.

Yet, I'd probably be associated with a complete nutjob.

These idiots have a tendency to overreact to basic descriptions of 'symptoms' instead of not being a moron and analyzing the situation in context.

Strangely, I also get 'narcissism', even though I have a logical rationale for thinking most of my attributes to be better than those of most people. Psychiatrists pathologize this regardless of whether this is true. Same with 'antisocial' shit; I commonly disregard social norms because I believe them to be bullshit, not because I can't socialize. It's amazing how much crap a stable, intelligent person can get 'diagnosed' with based on the opinion of some twat.

antisocial doesn't that mean you have no conscious? that must rock. i mean im half joking,but you could get away with a lot.

oh anyways, i think "judge not lest you be judged" is a good quote for this. psychiatrists look to their version of the bible for all their answers, to things that just plain aren't right. ever since i've been involved in psycho bullshit, i've completely lost any sense of self. im now looking for natural remedies.
