    All the meds are creating a different personality and bad behavior that without the evil poison medication person would never experienced. They medication is worth nothing. You take it if you are so smart...Please take it and you will became schizophrenic. Easy...It is good to say without your own experience. And most of the psychiatrists are quacks.
