I’m on them as the antidepressant landed me in hospital with severe mood swings and psychosis.

22

As in I’m on an ap now. So I’m fine.

23

Then that’s good … as long as you are in ap’s you will be fine don’t let anyone tell you otherwise. :+1::+1:

I never advocate going off them… I only went off them because he thought one episode wasn’t enough to “diagnose schizophrenia “. Nhs sucks at the moment and when I have no choice of pdoc it just gets worse.

Well having a bit of psychosis isnt the end the world. but full blown psychosis like you just went through is not good. So if you do this and it happens again you should just stay on your med.

I’m not going off the antipsychotic again. Maybe reduce but not off them completely.

Holy efff 150 pounds … you know what a pdoc consultation costs here in india? Less than five pounds.

And they are as good as any pdocs in the world most of them in the west are indians anyway. :wink::grin:

Ahaha yes I know it’s cheaper in India … I’ve had some checks there but not experience with pdocs

You visited India? Which part may I ask?

33

It’s not that bad but I just can’t afford a pdoc … plus I can see one next week on the nhs I just have to push and shout a bit louder to be seen… they seem busy and the worst service in London
