I strongly disagree with most of the things you said (besides the ones I recommended myself). Have you ever met a schizophreniac with and without medication? I have. Medication can save lives and enables people to actually live a somewhat normal life. I am quite sure, I would not be alive today if it was not for medication and professional help. Of course, there are side-effects of these drugs. I'm not denying that. I experienced and suffered from them as well. But sometimes they are the lesser of two evils. It's important to find a balance. Medication can help to come back to a normal life and maybe you won't even need it anymore at some point.
