Ahhhh.
It is so very nice to be fully medicated again. (For everybody around me, too, I'm sure. n.n)
Calmer, better able to manage bosses and stressors, awake and functional for the first eight hours of the day - and being able to metabolize sugars fully once more does help keep the little grey cells turning over.
As stressful as abruptly pausing meds for money reasons is, the resurgence of system stability once I'm back on them is *almost* worth the discomfort.

@emanate Oh ghods that part is the worst. Zugswang. Do I stay sane(r) at the cost of my physical longevity, or do I keep my body healthy(ier) at the risk of being at the mercy of my unmedicated mind? Maybe if I reduce the psych meds to half dose I can scrape through without a full psychotic break, just brain zaps, dysthemia and hours every day of mental self vivisection. Or physical meds: diabetes or blood pressure, stroke or heart disease, spin the wheel and place your bets...
