Maybe they weren't doing anything for him and that's why he stopped taking them... From what I learned in "group"(which really is going over such broad of topics that they don't help) I have been on 2 of the 3 latest anti-psychotic meds long-term and neither one of them did anything for me. Imagine hearing comments coming from every car that drives by you while walking on the sidewalk. That's what i deal with on a daily basis.
I might go to something long-term again but wow does it seem hopeless to me. I don't have much to leave behind. I don't interact with my parents much I doubt they would miss me. I used to have friends... the ones that arent dead or still on drugs are doing their own thing with their own families.
From what he said in his note, he didn't think he needed them anymore. I'm wondering if by that he meant he didn't need them because he wasn't planning to be around much longer.
You have more friends than you think you do. Reach out to one of those who is doing things with their family. Try to reconnect and see what happens.
