No one believes I am normal
I suffered collar fracture in a bike accident in the year 2007 and was not comfortable with surgery did to me. Added to that, My family created so many problems. With endless pain and suffering, I didn't sleep for three days. I don't want to question the integrity of family members, they prolonged my sleeplessness by adding 3 more days ( Total 6 days - Cannot promise). They took me to Rtd Psychiatry professor, who recommended a medicine of value 400 mg. he didn't reduce it for 10 years. I took the medicine without a break, hoping that one day he will stop medicine. Found he never had intention to stop the medicine. I am 37 years old, Got married in Sep 2016. I believed, My family will never understand my real problem. I did some research on medicine I took for 10 years in internet, and read some disturbing side effects which i believe is true. Like artificial diabetes, Suicidal thoughts etc. I stopped the medicine. Now, My Diabetes is under control without any pill.

Dear sir, it is difficult for us to know how we are behaving at times. Others can gauge it better. Also some emotional and brain illnesses lead to loss of insight...that is the capacity to know that one is unwell. It is very likely that if you were on an antipsychotic for 10 years from a qualified psychaitrist, you did need it. It is not wise to stop medication on your own without consulting a doctor especially at a time when you are in a transition of life. Rest is upto you.
