When I woke up this morning I felt sort of psychotic. Throughout this day it’s evolved to where I feel the psychosis is the strongest it’s been in months. During the past couple weeks I have been taking less seroquel than the pdoc prescribed because I felt it improved my cognition. Now my decision seems to have been poorly thought out as everything seems to be falling apart. If i can last until 7pm today I’ll take 600mg seroquel and see if that will contain the episode. I’ve been taking 400 on and off even though my pdoc prescribed 800 xr. This should serve as a warning to you, don’t mess around with your meds, sz fluctuates from day to day and week to week and theres no way you can predict exactly how a decrease in meds will impact you.

I cut out my Seroquel entirely. It does help a lot with cognition. Now I can’t sleep. Don’t self medicate. I am under the care of a nurse practitioner and a psychiatric nurse, both working together. I haven’t found a drug yet that works to decrease my auditory hallucinations. I find rest is helpful to forestall them.

Hearing voices is an indicator to me that I am on the downward spiral. Sending you big love, I know how cruel they can be.

Seroquel is REALLY nice at night if you cut it into pieces, you get a nice sleep and keep the zombie thing away while awake. Also recommend you start to journal your symptoms. Sometimes the psychosis is tied to company of a specific person or a location. If the voices get worse in this way, try to avoid the location or person…You can also keep asking the voices why you are hearing it. If you are told to do something nutty, just ignore them. But could be as easy as avoiding someone you met recently and don’t talk about it…I would refuse to stalk people to bother them about private information (thought broadcasting) as these end up crazier later IMHO.
You may end up being told to do something or say something to a specific person in room, but some who just leave the location without complying have voices quit eventually if you refuse. Go back to working as you can and get a relationship (as it keeps the weirdos away from you and you don’t hear the voices as much).

I am sorry you are still having trouble with the a.hallucinations. Can you take benadryl for the sleep issue?
Mine recently came back for a bit. They said they were the US government and they were from the future 2043 and they were telling me that I was being charged with obstruction. For using my intelligence firm that uses holograms to invade networks… that I would have created 20 years from now or something.
A bunch of jibberish.
Could be a good Sci fi story tho lol
The brain is strange. It’s all nonense

I prefer to do without sleep. I rest during the day.
