I recently convinced myself to try not taking my schizo-affective disorder medication because I was convinced I was misdiagnosed and I only had ADHD. That was a mistake.
Fortunately, I started it again after one month off it. I was seeing the signs of odd thinking behaviour. I am starting to feel better and more balanced again. But while off my medication I got scammed online and they really were bad people doing it. They harassed me everyday to do their scams and keep me hooked on their game.
I learned my lesson though. Medication is necessary with a schizo-affective disorder diagnosis. Side effects suck but the side effects are worth it if the symptoms are gone. Symptoms o schizo-affective disorder like paranoia and confusion are way worse then any side effects. Please don't do what I did. Don't test your diagnosis!
I have to learn to accept myself and live with the reality that I have this disorder but I can still live a normal life with medication and therapy.
