Or do they sometimes linger until you realise they aren’t true. Mines seemed to have lingered on a bit even when the meds started working.

Mine linger a lot. They take a lot of attention and work to get over even with optimal meds.

I’m on 10 mg of Haldol and I’m still told I’m delusional. My meds make my religious preoccupation go away but not my belief that Navy SEALs are following and recording me

So basically if you end up with psychosis , the delusional component can stay long after you started meds and have gathered proof that it’s just a delusion. I believed a celeb was communicating with me (thought wasn’t dead but he is ) I thought he faked his death. This was the only delusion that went on for a month

I only get delusional a few times a week. It comes when I start to panic or feel uncomfortable. If I just stay home all the time I usually am pretty good to go. But it’s hard to stay home all the time.
Recently I’ve been going for rides and drinking a few beers. I know that doesn’t sound safe but I live in the country and there are a ton of back roads with nobody on them. I go like 25mph. But sometimes when I get back home I have a paranoia attack. I think it’s because I feel so free then I feel trapped when I’m home.

Yeah. Last time I was psychotic was summer of '18. I believed I was being held in a dream state and needed to kill myself to wake up. I’ve been stable on meds ever since and still can’t shake it if I let myself think about it much. It still feels real because it WAS real while I was psychotic. It’s hard to ignore something that felt so true.

I don’t understand what you mean. I only hear the men who follow me when they’re around me but that’s because they’re real. At the gym last week I heard whispers and had spirits around me but that’s it

False beliefs not hallucinations that linger on even with the meds started until you get solid proof to stop believing
I often run into the problem of thinking my parents are talking about me. But only during a paranoia attack.

It’s going to take some time @anon80629714
Things don’t instantly get back to normal.
I was confused for weeks after my psychotic break and hospitalization four years ago.
Allow some time to recuperate.

I’m trying to and it was my first hospital visit so all a bit confusing and it wasn’t this bad before. Plus they won’t pick up phone to give me an app.

Mine delusions come and go, even when l use medicine regurlary. When it hits me l always know it will go over, even though in the moment “things” feel real. Have a lot of experience so l am not fooled anymore

Mine went away on medicine. Took a few years though.
Can I ask, what makes you think navy seals are after you?
I’ve seen them and talked to them

Risperdal 4mg stopped 90% of my positive symptoms.
My delusions come in waves now. When I get heavily stressed I get a wave of paranoia and my delusions follow suit. Then after a few hours they go away and I’m back to reality.
with meds bit by bit the delusions go away
