I think I’m figuring out that I am delusional again! This cycle keeps happening over and over again. I figure out that I am delusional, then I get delusional, then I figure it out, then I get delusional. Is this happening to anybody else? I think I need to tweak my medication.

It’s not a bad thing recognising your symptoms. It’s a journey but the idea is to survive on as little medication as you are able to which takes care of your symptoms. I’ve settled on 10 mgs of zyprexa, for example, which isn’t an aweful lot but it takes care of most of my dramas. I still get breakthroughs and I live with that…but I haven’t slid into psychosis for years and years. Antidepressant…that is a whole another story!
Have a chat to your doc and see what choices are available. A good shrink should have a decent clue to how your doing!

If you can figure out you’re delusional, take action quick before you CAN’T tell the difference in reality between what’s true and what’s not !!

Good advice thank you, I talked to my counselor about it and she said she could ask my pdoc if I could increase my medicine. He said yes. That was last week. I’ve been waiting for the holidays to end just in case if the side effects occur with family around. I’m going to try to increase my abilify tomorrow morning by 1 mg.(from 6mg to 7gm) I hope that makes a difference.
I was delusional on abilify…I recommend another AP if you can manage it. plus you are already on a low dose of abilify…which explains you being unstable to me…good luck.
Sorry I didn’t say that I’m on 300 mg of clozapine also. Thanks for giving me a good luck.
