I know what you mean with the drinking. I was drinking 12 beers a day for 2 months straight. I checked myself into rehab and have been clean for 60 days now. I honestly feel more anxious than ever and still get paranoid once or twice a week. I sleep much better now though. And im able to function.

Yeah. I just need someone who takes me seriously. I tell my current doctor the meds arent working and he just does nothing. Its like he doesnt know where to go

But you can resist the urge to drink. I know you can. Hang in there!
Yeah I understand that.
I get anxiety after I take my latuda at dinner time.
I wouldnāt mind some medication to help me in the afternoon time.
I donāt have a psychiatrist only Gp and she doesnāt want to prescribe much.
My doctor prescribed vistaril for the afternoon hours. But it doesnt so much of anything for me. I told him that and he just didnt listen. I see him next week and will once again tell him my anxiety makes living hell for me. In hoping that he will provide me with some relief.

I actually get that. I used to be a drug addict. But I quit 25 years ago. I know itās hard. But you can do it. You really can.

Sometimes I donāt even feel depressed, but I feel like everything is dumb and thereās not a thing in the world I wanna do. I like to solve my Rubix cube and study Jiu-Jitsu, but that doesnāt fill a whole day. I can usually get myself to read the news and play videogames, but Iām bored a lot too.
Yeah. I make a list of things i can do but they all seem pointless when i look at the list. I think its just the negative symptoms of sz.
