So while I was in the hospital the doctor said that people with schizophrenia don’t have out of themselves hallucinations and idk if that’s true, it had me confused and unsure about everything. I was doing well on Seroquel and since I was taken off of them I guess I’ve been doing"okay" I’ve had two “episodes” where I see things and get really paranoid and even scared and I try to ignore it. He said he thought it was PTSD and I’m not sure… I’m really confused and maybe even scared… I don’t wanna be the way I was before and I’m even losing weight and my massive appetite has gone down dramatically I’m just confused
What do you mean by out of themselves hallucinations?
That’s just wildly untrue lol. I hate to say it but your Dr is wrong
Why did they take you off of your medication again?
Like an out of body experience? I imagine they are rare, but idk why sz wouldn’t be able to have one.
You need a second opinion with another pdoc
Why did they take you off of Seroquel? Was it not working?
@Froge it was at the hospital
@Wave I was at the hospital for suicidal ideation and the doctor believed that I have PTSD and yeah I’ve had PTSD for a while but he believed I’ve never had schizophrenia but PTSD instead
@Ribbon like just seeing something in the real world that isn’t really there… He said that it doesn’t happen to people with sz or sza
@CoCo my nurse said it’s possible it was PTSD and wants to keep me off the meds as long as I’m doing relatively well
@Cragger the doctor at the hospital believes it’s PTSD and the fact that I am in a much more stable environment may have stopped the hallucinations and not the meds
I have schizophrenia and PTSD. I’m on prazosin for the PTSD and it works well. I have vivid hallucinations at night where I was waking up screaming, and since taking the med, I don’t have them anymore.
That is patently false.
