Hi everyone, its a 9th weeks i am locked up. I was released to home 5weeks ago ans relapsed instantly. I am stable and healthy now, i havr no delusions or hallucinations, the deal is the doctors are afraid to discharge me again. I was promised to be let go 2 weeks ago but my doctor went on a holiday, so im stuck here until monday until my osy doc returns and she definitely will discharge me.

How did you relapse? Your meds stopped working without changing them or their dosage?
I was on Invega 75mg a month and escitalopram 10mg. I started steadily hallucinate and feeling paranoid plus delusional. I was working at the moment so work stress topped up. When i told that i think my father raped me she instantly called ambulance and called the cops. I have theory either i developed new dopamine neurons or my depression ended and AD medication made me psychotic. Now i am on haldol, quetiapine, depakote, cycladol (parkopan) and additional haldol tablets just to stabilize me for now. I am fully consciouss and don’t have any delusions. I hope my pdoc will discharge me next week when she returns from a holiday.
Also i relapsed after 4 weeks since my release was caused by lack of sleep. In 4 days i was fully psychotic again, even with new medication.

Haldol is good but if you ever relapse again try Clozapine, its the strongest ap.

The problen is i had a too short treatment thats why I relapsed on new meds. My treatment should have been more intense. I feel su much better on haldol and quetiapine, I regained my sexual function from risperidone. I also dont have small psychotic episodes which is great. I dont get panic attacks caused by caffeine
Hopefully, you get out soon. Was your dad hurt by the accusation?
My dad is dead long time ago, when i was 9 years old. I think my schizophrenia developed by his death. Yeah i really want to go home now, my mom wants me to be at home. Just new doctor dont want to take uo the responsibility of releasing me again and get relapsed again. Next week i definitely going home. Its just so boring here, at least we get to smoke 10 times a day. So i smoke up a whole carton, i also have my laptop to play some games. I also sleep a lot now, like 14 hours

I’m sorry you lost your dad. In the hospitals where I live, there’s no cell phones, no internet, and no smoking allowed. There’s a community phone, but you have to know the numbers to dial and most people don’t because they rely on their cell phones now.
Thats bad, in which country do you live in? Some hospitald in Lithuania is a dedicated room for smoking. We are also allowed to put on our shoes to go outside and we wear our own clothes

I’m in Michigan, USA.
Well yeah, everyone knows how bad USA is with healthcare, so no wonder. We also have some hospital sections that you are not allowed to go outside and have fewer smoke breaks and less freedom. There are 5 regimes in my hospital, with 4th regime youre allowed to be outside in hospitals territory, with 5th you even can go to town. Sadly, only 1-3 regimes are intact because of pandemic, so we are allowed to go outside with overseer

What kind of hell hole makes you stay 9 weeks? I couldn’t stand the mental hospital for more than 2 weeks because we cannot have internet, phone, soda, energy drinks, and cigs. No good 9utside food either. Thanks a lot to government regulation, hippa laws, and ■■■■■■■ patients that abuse the system and luxuries we once had 9+ years ago.
Good luck new born !I also thought that my father raped me,that was the illness my father was an alcholic but he was a good father
I thought Jesus raped me when I was psychotic
