> I told my pdoc I didn't take my meds as directed and she said it's important that I do because not doing so can cause instability. What kind of instability?

> Recently I had a sort of crisis where I sort of threatened suicide. Two things were happening at the same time, the messing with meds and the changes in situation. Is it possible that messing with meds contributed? Or am I trying to find something to blame? I should only blame myself for what happened. I dunno, I don't think it was the meds. I think it's my flawed personality. I just wish I hadn't messed with the meds so I would know for certain it is 100% my own flawed personality.

> Deneb*I am alive and have probably the worst consequence, I won't say its name. But you don't have to "mess" with meds to get messed up by them.
People have to touch the fire themselves and get burned, there is a difference between understanding a concept and realizing it. There is no wisdom without pain, keep this in mind when some one gives you a piece of wisdom, where it comes from... its very foundation is from foolish mistakes, but from ignorance comes ascension to those with the will to utilize wisdom and preserve in their lives. The answers are there, you just have to accept them.
So, my warnings to people seem ineffective. I won't bother anymore. You guys want to give it a go with major tranquilizers, but when that day comes, and you are all alone in writhing pain 1,000 times worse than before you ever met those dreaded drugs, what do you do?
Because you will be alone, you will be scared, and no one will have the answers for you. The worst of it has no cure, and there is only one thing left to look forward to. That is your reward for going down that foolish path.
Be depressed, be anxious, those at least have cures.
I am right here. You want to know the worst of it, then ask me.
