I ultimately don't have to take medication, nobody has to, they can refuse advice or go AMA as an outpatient. But I'm stuck in a major loop of circles and circular thinking because Seroquel allows me to be functional day after day yet it also exacerbates a tic that may likely have been caused by it. I also don't relish the remote possibility of TD so I may end up taking Clozaril as a choice, which may actually improve things but is a dangerous undertaking. So I can understand the frustration of not being able to get off of ones medication for fear of becoming not functional. I'm only lucky that I still have living parents who are trying to support me back to some semblence of normality knowing that nobody will ever be perfect.
