I also had sz while in university. Without sz I think my grades would be much better.

Good luck, I believe you can do it with the right medicine

You seem to be very influenced by others. You talk about what your parents want. Your friend. Not making your own choices comes with a very high price imo.
Anyway, congratulations on finishing your degree with sz.

I have settled on Latuda
It ruins my evenings and I have to go to bed pretty much after eating
But, not tired during the day, which helps.
Amisulpride allowed me the best chance, but my QTC prolongation meant it had to be stopped, and couldnāt dual it with another atypical
Yes back then I didnāt even know what I wanted to do because of sz. All I knew is that I had very good grades in college before getting in university. Now I just want to get any office job. Being stable and consistent is the most important thing.

How much amisulpride were you taking?
I was on 800mg for five years, then 1,200mg for about a year
Also I thought that by learning and forcing myself to touch people in my program it would make me more social. I was antisocial back then and self isolated from my only friend who went studying in the US.

I didnāt know that. You regularly talk about hanging with family and friends. Thought you were always very social.

Not always. Before sz I had phases where I had friends and phases where I completely self isolated and all I was doing was studying. Even my parents told me to get out of my room and talk again to my friends. Each phase lasted like 2yrs. Actually since being on meds I am more stable and I am always social, not too social though.

I think its the sz as when I stopped meds for 2yrs last time I left all my friends and family, lived alone in Germany for 4-6 months. I knew no one there and was alone. All I did was walking in the streets alone all day and sometimes eating at restaurants or shopping. My parents called federal cops as I wasnāt even answering my parents txts and calls. They thought I committed suicide.

You have some memorable stories to tell. And a lot of life changing experiences. Maybe you need more time to properly process them.
