Hey @Former-Member thanks for a great thread.
I am remembering why I have to take medication and reminding myself I cannot do without it. I have schizophrenia and I have been stable on wonderful meds for three years. In this time my life has changed dramatically (slowly, but dramatically well). I have done the whole "I'm fine, I don't need my meds" thing so many times and it has ended in pure disaster. As you can tell I am a few times around the cycle, so I'm experienced enough to know.... but the thought I might be 'cured' is still there.....
So this time, in the period of wellness, I need to remember to take my meds and why I need them. Even though I feel normal, I do not want the crippling insanity, debt, delusions and broken relationships again. I can't afford it.
That's my positive!
