Good times.

how are you? 151515
Glad you got things sorted and it all ended well.
Im doing fine . Hopefully no more breakdowns for a while.
I’m on invega. I’ve been on it since 2015. It works really well for me. I take the tablets, 12mg. I still get breakthrough symptoms (hallucinations and intrusive thoughts - pills don’t work for delusions, they take effort).
What are your current symptoms?
I tried abilify and didn’t like it, but it could be a really good med for you, keep at it.
Glad it worked out for you @roxanna
Bad paranoia.mood swings.
Oooh. That’s awful. I really hope you’re feeling better soon.
Are you seeing a therapist? Are you on a mood stabiliser?
When you get paranoid about things, have you tried reality testing/checking and challenging it? Do you feel ready to tackle it? It takes a lot of work.
Edit: sorry if I’m asking too many questions.
I’m on invega 6 mg. Did the impossible and quieted my voices
I have a counselor now. Abilifu,lexapro,cogentin,and vistaril.
No i dont check i shpuld.
