I am currently:

Me too, I've been on various meds since I was 17 and the psych said I shouldn't even think about coming off them until I finish my PhD in four years' time, then depending on my life/ employment circumstances I might have to take my meds for a lot longer. Who knows. Maybe indefinitely, as they once mentioned.

But I agree with Oly- I'd rather take the meds to control (not eliminate) the symptoms than be ill. If it wasn't for the meds I wouldn't be alive today, but it was also the meds which could have killed me two years ago. What an irony!



The freshly qualified Psycho-Pharmacologist who is taking psychiatric medications herself.

I am currently a postgraduate student in Psychiatric Research.
