Am I correct in assuming that it's better to consider myself a strict vegetarian?!
(rather than a vegan), since I do take psychiatric medication made by a company that tests on animals!?
No, I can't and wont stop taking the meds!. believe me, I have tried many times over the years, before the vegan thing was even an issue!.
also, please dont tell me I can call/consider myself whatever I want to!. I am well aware of that!.
I'm just curious what your opinions are!.

Since it sounds like you can't do without the medication (and I completely understand that), you do everything in your power to be vegan!. As a fellow vegan I would consider you vegan!. There are certain things that people can control!. A lot of people who would nay say you don't understand this!. Someone gave me a hard time within seconds of finding out I was vegan about medication, or animal testing in the name of science!. I told him I try to find out as much as I can, and use cruelty free products wherever possible, but there's only so much a modern person can do!. I'm lucky I don't take anything that's not vegan, but if I absolutely had to, I would!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
Are you vegan!? Do you eat eggs or dairy!? If not than I'd consider you a vegan!. If you need the medication, you need the medication!. I wouldn't worry about it too much!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
If there is no alternative (which I believe there are not don't all pharma companies test on animals!?) then it's out of your hands and your power and I think you would be fine to consider and call yourself a Vegan!.

Yeah, that's my same problem!. My friends keep calling me vegan or veggie but I prefer being called a strict vegetarian since it suits me better!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
