Ask Lemmy
A Fediverse community for open-ended, thought provoking questions
Rules: (interactive)
1) Be nice and; have fun
Doxxing, trolling, sealioning, racism, toxicity and dog-whistling are not welcomed in AskLemmy. Remember what your mother said: if you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all. In addition, the site-wide Lemmy.world terms of service also apply here. Please familiarize yourself with them
2) All posts must end with a '?'
This is sort of like Jeopardy. Please phrase all post titles in the form of a proper question ending with ?
3) No spam
Please do not flood the community with nonsense. Actual suspected spammers will be banned on site. No astroturfing.
4) NSFW is okay, within reason
Just remember to tag posts with either a content warning or a [NSFW] tag. Overtly sexual posts are not allowed, please direct them to either !asklemmyafterdark@lemmy.world or !asklemmynsfw@lemmynsfw.com.
NSFW comments should be restricted to posts tagged [NSFW].
5) This is not a support community.
It is not a place for 'how do I?', type questions.
If you have any questions regarding the site itself or would like to report a community, please direct them to Lemmy.world Support or email info@lemmy.world. For other questions check our partnered communities list, or use the search function.
6) No US Politics.
Please don't post about current US Politics. If you need to do this, try !politicaldiscussion@lemmy.world or !uspolitics@lemmy.world
7) No Hit-and-Run questions.
Please don't delete your post for no apparent reason. If you plan on deleting a question later, say so in the post, or if you feel that you have a good reason to remove it, message a mod beforehand. It's not fair to the ones who took their time to answer, and it's not in the spirit of the community.
8) No Bots.
Posts or comments from bots, LLM's, AIs, Neural Networks, Transformers, or Marvin the Paranoid Android are not welcome in AskLemmy. Real humans only please.
Reminder: The terms of service apply here too.

From what you write, I feel you know nothing about the business of psychiatry, I'm prescribed antipsychotics while not having any psychosis or symptoms that could be helped by its use, I've been prescribed wrong things multiple times in the past aswell, and being told "just believe this doctor because the doctor is the authority and knows best" some of the meds i have taken in the doses i was prescribed back when i trusted the doctors made me actually suicidal (outside of the organ damage of course)
You will know if you ever get into taking psychiatric meds and how that works. I WISH it wasn't like this, I really do. But it just isn't. I was never warned of any side effects short or long term by any of my doctors, and when i had them, unless they were like super apparent like not sleeping for 4 days or something, they were hand waved away.
My intention is not to be mean or dismissive to you, but I do feel in this one case at least, you don't have the experience required to know how it works in reality (and not only what the media tells you "stay on your meds!")
I do take some pills selectively as I've read on them and their usefulness in my case, even suggesting pill changes in my schema, to pretty good success actually.
