Over-medication is a big problem, but you have to recognize that you are extremely lucky to be able to function without it. Not everybody can. I couldn't.

I share your experience regarding side effects, it would likely kill my career. Thankfully anti-psychotics work quickly, unlike antidepressants. As long as I have the discipline to recognize the signs, I can medicate mostly as needed. But this, again, is a privileged situation. More severe cases can't risk that "as needed" treatment.

Right,my case is light (I've always had a job, at least between major burnouts), and the injections were way too big for my weight. It was efficient as I was calm at that moment, I started reading books again, but I lost all my passion for things, my brain was like mostly turned off, that's why I preferred returning to the previous state and finding other solutions
