Jeroen I know where you're coming from. It's not nice to have to take medication that makes you feel unwell, much less being forced to take it.
I was given this book by my mental health team after I had my first (manic) psychotic episode "Madness Explained: Psychosis and Human Nature". I think you would find it helpful if you could get a copy. He explains in depth the process of how and why people go mad, and also what he considers the role of psychiatric treatment such as hospitalization and antipsychotic medication. I higly recommend it. Might give you some new ideas of where to go from here in terms of how you view your psychosis and how to manage it.
