You're right zombie pills are definitely better than being sectioned-I have a few mates who are bi-polar on mood stabilizers (Lithium,Deprakote, Olanzapine) they mix them with alcohol but I've never seen them go manic or zombiefied thank goodness and if they did they would tell their psychiatrist so and get them changed.
As you say if you're sick of meds I completely understand that but if my mates stopped taking their meds I know they would go manic and get sectioned so I genuinely hope that doesn't happen to you. Be extremely careful-I sincerely hope it works out for you :)
