Delusions of control how long to pass

Hello everyone,

Ive been having delusions of control for about a year now sometimes unbearable most the time manageable (i can stay calm enough mostly).

Today was about six hours of unbearable but i handled it im recovering and de-stressing.

My main question is how long did anyone suffer and what meds worked best? Ive never tried clozaril but want to badly. My family wants me on a monthly injectable and literally wont let me switch just out of fear. I really really want to try it! Most things i read say tachycardia is the main worry? Please educate me.

Any help is greatly appreciated!

Had mine since 1992 (constant thoughts about my cardiac pacemaker being a controlling implant). I have had to learn to cope.

I’m on a lose dose of Vraylar, just enough to maintain insight. I had been on Geodon (better) but my cardiologist took me off of it. Vraylar was supposed to knock my negatives flat. Nope.

Okay i appreciate the knowledge. Im scared right now from my voice so any and all insight is appreciated!

I can handle the confusing messages alright its the suicidal messages that overwhelm me. Medication and knowing you guys have gotten through it keeps me strong as i can be.

Thank you! Solian i know nothing about. Ill ask my pdoc!

I apologize, I should have mentioned this… I’m on 300mg/day of Wellbutrin for suicidal ideation. It does its job beautifully. No issues with suidical urges or thoughts at all when I’m on it, but they come back in spades if I forget to refill. That is my other signifcant psych med. No side-effects worth mentioning.

The Wellbutrin works so well that I tend to forget it, to be honest.

:blush:
