Oh with cig and extra strong?
I had strong one today and had schizophrenia whole day and still having rn

Caffeine can cause people to hallucinate in high doses, but it can’t cause schizophrenia. Once the caffeine wears off, so do the hallucinations.

to your credit they never give you caffeinated coffee in the psych ward, not even in rehab.

Are they trying to crucify us or what?

Haha. Am not in ward or rehab. Am at home doing regular thing and am not 100% cured. Are you 100% cure?

huh? Well I’m medicated managed, but with all of them, I can’t wake up completely without coffee. I drink green tea too, never have symptoms.

I’ve gone decaf and sparingly at that per cardiologist’s orders. I still have had positive symptoms when stressed without caffeine.

I’m 50. Was diagnosed at age 27, but been told on here, I should have been treated earlier

and maybe I wouldn’t have had my first hard fall. Yeah, I got the paranoid kind. You don’t just wake up with this, it’s gradual. I did what I wanted before medication, had my kids and finished my college degree, B.A.

At what age you got 100% fine? And i heard it’s genetically transmitted also so better talk with ur kids right now only

mmm, I think I heard or read that it’s not a high percentage that your offspring will also have it,

I have two great kids, and they’re doing well.

It’s start to effect from early adult so better talk with em. At what age you got 100% fine?

I’ve already answered this question.

There’s no harm in saying it again

alright, well, I’m not sure what you mean by ‘cured’

I get lots of negative symptoms, and some break through positive symptoms

I’m heavily medicated, but I’m high functioning, for the most part.

Let’s talk about you. Are you hearing voices?

My mom thinks I have caffeine toxicity…some people believe in it. Isn’t it in the dsm-5 now?

ha, maybe, not sure. All I know is I’ve got Dr. Pepper in the fridge, and this is very rare that I drink pop.

Probably get a lot of ■■■■ for this…I read it years ago…not sure if real, but I can relate a ton…

Yes. I still do and i think people are stilling hearing my thoughts. I am studying so i turn the original meaning to something else and i feel that they are also feeling it.

that’s a contemptuous comment that I’d rather not respond to.
