> I can't shake the feeling that shrinks destroy people and that the drugs, ect, etc. just destroy people. They destroyed me, that's for sure--and at a young age, too. I've been given another chance, and I don't think I should spend it dealing with the profession that has destroyed so many good (but troubled) people.
Your view on taking medication for your condition swings like a pendulum. That is just an observation, not a judgment. Perhaps you should allow some time to pass before making a decision regarding your treatment. You might feel differently about things next week. It seems that every time you attempt to discontinue Abilify, you get yourself into trouble. That is not to say that Abilify is the best drug for you. Perhaps taking a drug like Latuda would produce a more comfortable mental state.
