My journey with Sz has been long and arduous. For 23 years they put me on Haldol which had a sedative effect on me. I didn’t asset myself and say I don’t want to take this anymore. I know now I should have told my psychiatrist that I need to try something else. What I did was discontinue taking the meds and ended up back in the hospital. But I did start taking Abilify and it worked much better. I’ve been taking that for over 20 years and I feel pretty good and my thought process is much clearer. What did I learn. Assert yourself and find away to let the psychiatrist know that there needs to be some change in the meds so that a person can thrive in their lives.
Go after it guys!
