Sometimes I dont know how to stop thinking about stopping meds. And I am violent and suicidal without meds so it can cost me my life.
The 10mg Abilify isn’t controlling my positive symptoms as good as the Zyprexa did. However, I’m not as sedated, my blood sugar went down, my anxiety and mood swings went away, and I have been able to lose some weight.
Meds make me miserable even today I felt like a dried up piece of ■■■■ but I don’t know what to do about it
I think its the illness making me miserable and quitting meds means death in my case which is an escape as there is no sz after death.
Personally I blame the meds when I got off of them I was working again but then I relapsed and now I barely take showers again
How long did it take you to relapse?
It took about 3 months
Most times Im taking meds but once in a while I will go a day or so without them cant sleep without them so I must take them but they are hard on the body and the side effects are not very nice I hope next year to gain control and be without them for good.
What made you get back on meds? Me my parents called the cops bcz I attacked my brothers but they didnt tell that to the cops. 4 cops came to my house, they calmed me and brought me to the emergency in an ambulance. A cop car was following us and cops stayed with me there until I was seen by a psychiatrist that gave me a bunch of calming pills. Then I was transferred to mental hospital.
I went to the emergency room because I thought there was glass in my brain and I was dying from there they transferred me to psych ward
I’ve gone off meds many times and each time I end up in the emergency room then get sent to a psych ward
I wish I had more insight, I dont realize that I need meds until I get violent and when my parents call the cops. A cop was watching me when I was with the psychiatrist, I thought about leaving and not taking the meds the pdr offered me but I didnt want it to get worse so I took the meds.
I completely lose my mind and control without meds.
I hate it when cops get involved one time the cops said I attacked them but I know I didn’t luckily my dad was captain of sheriffs dept and intervened on my behalf
I don’t completely lose control but my delusions and tactile hallucinations always cause me to end up in a psych ward when off meds
I get so busy that I forget my meds without setting multiple reminders on my smart devices. Other than that, no issues.
I have alarms set on my smart watch. It does work to some degree, but the lunchtime one I find difficult to pay attention too if I a concentrating on something at work when it goes off
I used to struggle but not anymore. I’ve made my peace with it. The combo I’m on now is pretty good so that helps.
I take it mostly sometimes I forget, Ive ended up at the police station when Ive skipped them so I keep careful almost got sent to the psyche ward. Don’t stop your meds its completely stupid.
