Why don't schizophrenics like to take their meds?

I don't understand how taking a pill could be that bad. What is unpleasant about it? It isn't like its a major lifestyle change that requires much self discipline. This is just how I see it. I'm sure there are some medicated folks here who could shed some light on the matter.

that's exactly what it is is lol.
if they miss their pill or they don't feel like taking it right away i'm sure they get overwhelmed with all these thoughts about how evil the pill is, and then it's all down hill from there.

Simple, the pills are devices used by the aliens as mind-control devices in conjunction with the lizard people to ensure the tap water is drugged with sedatives to keep the people from knowing the truth!

Side effects are a big reason. The new meds are better at this.
I suppose that if they feel better they think they don't need them.

Schizophrenics probably just realize once they're on the meds that they don't work either. At that point they find no reason and think they might as well not bother.

taking a pill in itself does not require strict discipline...can you raise your fingers to your mouth once a day?
thanks for the speculation

Dude everything said here is speculative, I'm pretty sure none of us have schizophrenia.
Although if I did... I wouldn't know. Oh shit, here I go.

I see. I didn't know side effects were a big problem; I thought there might be a little benzo-like dumbing effect, but I didn't realize they caused anything hard to deal with.

I was given abilify for racing thoughts. It didn't have much in the way of side effects you can feel. It has weight gain, can fuck with your cholesterol and blood sugar.

I was (improperly) diagnosed with schizophrenia when I was 15.
They tried out 3 or 4 different meds. They all fucked my shit up hard.
I was just depressed...

Do you remember the specific prescription names? I want to look them up if that's ok with you.
