For what it's worth, I am similarly low functioning without medication, but have been since before I began.
Don't forget to consider the very real possibility that it was not the meds that left you this way, but that your condition deteriorated due to other factors over the twenty or so years, and that the medication shielded you from the worst of it until it stopped working and you were suddenly left with a very different illness than the one you initially began treatment for.
I know myself how much insight I lose when the medication is not working. I think it's important for you to stick it out with the psychiatrist for a while. As unpalatable as the medication seems right now, on the other side you are likely to feel differently about everything, no matter how undeniable your opinions on it currently seem.
