meds and switzerland Anonymage 12/27/25 (Sat) 16:10:19 No.304887

any wizards choose to take psychiatric meds?
and also what's the deal with assisted/medically induced suicide these days?

i hate crawling back to antidepressants but when my thoughts start getting too dark that i can't metabolize them on my own with meditation, and i can't concentrate on anything, i just need something to take the edge off, and if i'm not abusing substances, it's really hard to think of anything that will work better than prozac. but i hate that i need them. my old doctors would say something like, "well what if you needed glasses would you hate them and refuse to wear them? Or just get glasses and live your life?"

Seems switzerland actually lets non-citizens have assisted suicide? my mental health is not really severe enough probably… i don't have a terminal illness or anything… just a tootheache and dysthimia that makes me want to escape dealing with it head on… i had a fleeting relief by researching it and seeing it exists, but the thought has since passed (for now)

I have come to the realization that what I suffer from is not schizophrenia but psychotic depression and the only way to treat my symptoms is to treat the depression. Using medication prescribed for schizophrenia alone is insufficient. It wasn't until I started taking a generic Abilify that I started to be able to focus enough to make indie games which is something I had wanted to do for years. My paranoia finally fell to manageable levels. The paranoia used to be debilitating and kept me constantly hypervigilant to imagined dangers every day.

If your mental illness is severe enough, psych meds might be a good option.

Are you OP? Damn, you sound a lot like me.
I also had a psychotic depression along with very severe mood swings, I'm glad I started taking Abilify (but I also take Wellbutrin now along with it). It did wonders to my mood and now I don't do all that regretful stuff that I did. Some things that I said and did during my episodes still make me cringe. I think some people don't get that you legit become a menace and do reckless shit without meds.
