I started taking the full dose of my haldol and all i noticed was that the panic about my thoughts turned down a bit but i still believe it. It might be different tho cause i’m not conviced it really is a delusion. Or paranoia.
What was ur experience with the medicine and ur delusions or paranoia? Are they still there and the med just turns down ur ability to panic over them or did the disapear completely?
I have insight - but I still get confused with persistent delusions and distorted thoughts and beliefs I can’t let go.
Makes it really difficult to participate in real life / society.
What are they? If you don’t mind me asking.
I have some unusual beliefs that have stuck even on meds currently
Yes, I haven’t had a delusion in years. Worst case I get some slight paranoia or night time voices. Zyprexa stopped the delusions though.
Paranoia is 99.9% gone.
“Delusions” or unusual beliefs are still there.
I’m the same on Olanzapine.
They do for some. In my case the meds gave me the necessary insight to further minimize mine using therapy.
I recently had an episode crop back up because of occurances in my life. Because I had some degree of insight, I was able work my way back out of it logically. But without meds to get you started, I think it is nearly impossible work out your way out of deep delusions.
Im similar to you @irrelevant for me the ap takes away much of the fear from the paranoia but the delusion remains.
Perhaps it means the ‘delusion’ is in fact real? Im not sure, but it seems true to me.
I have no positive symptoms on meds.
I have only pulled that off on super high doses of meds, but they’re so crippling with side effects that I’m basically a human doorstop.
I understand I’m on the fortunate side when it come to responding to meds, I was give a shot of Haldol which almost completely took me out of psychosis, the only thing left was light delusion that fade away within a week, technically meds shouldn’t even work that fast.
