I'm not going off any of my medications right now, but I know I will want to someday. Someday soon they are going to become too expensive to be on. Get this: I went from 200mg to 150 mg of risperdal becuase the level of my prolactin was too high. Well the other day I was VERY emotional. I was very horny, for one thing. And I usually am very aroused not on my meds. Also, I was having HORRIBLE anticipatory anxiety about going to work. Normally, I can handle it just fine. I almost started crying at work. For no reason other than the fact that I was overwhelmed by all the people. I don't know how I will handle not being on meds:(

I don't know where you are, but there are some ways of getting meds for free in the US and Canada. If you go to the website of the co's that make your meds, you may find info, or contact them and ask about it.
And you could ask your doc, and see if he can keep you supplied with his samples.
Many people have this probelm. Imagine being one of the ones who can't afford something like cancer meds. My Dad spends nearly USD15,000 a year for his meds to stay alive.
That anxiety stuff and weepiness, I think sometimes it's just plain hormonal. THose of us who have "emotional" problems, I think we tend to put everything we feel off onto to that, when in fact everyone has moments of anxiety and emotion just out of sheer humaness, with nothing even slightly pathological about it.
But believe me, I thank the fates every day that I can afford what I need.
