Heavily medicated?: What makes you say you need to be "heavily medicated"? You're surely suffering with something, and it's best to see a psychiatrist for an evaluation of what's going on. Sometimes other medical conditions mimic psychiatric ones, and this can be discovered. Also some conditions do need psychiatric medications; the right ones can be provided. Trying to do it to yourself invites other problems.
