Fighting to stay med free

After being drugged to the eyeballs for my entire adult life (over a decade), I finally managed to stop all my psych meds. That was about three months ago. It's the first time my team have allowed me to do it. However, since day one, they've been pushing for me to take the damn pills again.

Without the drugs, I can think. My brain works. I have energy. I don't have constant headaches, constant nausea. The first week was a revelation - you mean life has this much colour?

Anyway, the docs are really on my case now and threatening me with a court order if I don't start taking the meds again. There must be something I can do about this. It's my body, my brain. The drugs are not an answer. They damage my body. It's not right that they can force that on me. What happened to 'first do no harm'?

Does anyone have suggestions how I can play this?
