Why Schizophrenics Can’t Escape Taking Medication
Schizophrenics cannot wiggle their way out of saying rational things when on medication because they say loopy things when not on medication, in fact acting like real fruit loops. Medication is necessary to treat schizoaffective only because you are prone to mood swings. Those of us who need our medication do not take it as a sign of weakness of character, but in order to build up our strength for the next day by actually getting enough sleep for a change. Sleeping and being strong the next day is wonderful. It means you are not victimized by your mood swings. My family just enjoyed the stigma I was subjected to for not being on medication. They love that. They set me up for it. So now I take my medication consistently.
