A problem or just problematic

So for the past year or so i feel like my sz has been getting worse. Now its gotten to the point where i feel like people are laughing at me out in public. Which at the same time i know they arent. They are always just snickering or laughing to each other around me and it just freaks me out.

Doesnt happen when at work. Only in grocery stores when im shopping mostly. Cant really figure out whats going on.

Now i seen someone mention in another post that something similar to what i am experiencing are hallucinations. Is this true?

I am on meds and everything, wondering if taking my pantaloc(like zantac(stomach med) with the night resperidone is taking away the effectiveness or something.

Or maybe some people just become worse over time. I know some get better.

I am not seeking medical advice, just asking personal experience. Thanks all.

Paranoia is a symptom of schizophrenia sometimes. I have these feelings sometimes that you are describing. Just try to keep calm and tell yourself you aren’t being targeted. Your head is messing with you. Definitely mention to your doctor these feelings and they can help. If you think drugs are interacting, try taking them at different times in the day to see if it helps. Best of luck.

Thanks fries. I could never figure out what any of it meant. So this would be most like paranoia.

You could ask to try an anti anxiety med, like Atarax which is not habit forming. I take it, and noticed I’m less anxious when in public, and therefore less inclined to feel paranoid. You could try that route.

I have prns of clonazapam and ativan. Also heard some people mention that gabapenton takes away social anxiety. Which i have in stock from the pain doctor.

Yes, I take gabapentin for pain, too. It’s definitely helpful. I don’t take a prn ever. What I’m on is sufficient,

it always convinces me it’s real too.

Yeah ive always had it a little bit. And since i can remember i was always embarrised in public with other people. Its just starting to become a big problem and im turning into a shut in.

I always believe the same too— like people are talking about me when I get off the elevator or people secretly hate me.

It’s rough sometimes.

I’m ace at getting hired.

Keeping a job? Now that’s where shiit hits the fan.
