Does this happen to you?

I experience some good days where I feel pretty good without much psychosis symptoms (delusions and auditory hallucinations)
Then I got a few days where I’m down, ocd ruminating thoughts all day, and delusions and psychosis more apparent

I’m starting to think I might be schizoaffective

Yes pretty much the same here.

I feel like driver a vehicle with breaks on.

I’m the same but I don’t think I’m schizoaffective.

It’s just good days and bad days.

So you get let’s say 3-4 good days and then a few bad? Always back to back?

It’s like I feel at the top of the world some days and then I hit a few days of feeling under

Yes, it’s similar for me.

What AP are you on? I’m on Abilify 15mg.

Hey,

I’m on Clozaril 250mg a day
And we just added Abilify to help also with OCD I’m at only 2mg of that a day

I’m on sertraline too but that med feels like it’s not going much for depression , OCD related anxiety etc

Doctor mentioned lamotrigine last appointment, I might want to try that med and give up sertraline

I wish I could be of more help. I have just accepted that I’ll have good days and bad days.

Are you on a ssri or the like too? A mood stabilizer?

I have good days and bad days, mostly good days though. My bad days are when I’m experimenting with whack herbs or certain foods in my diet.

I’m way better now than I was years ago, thanks to internet information and diet

My joint pains are like that

Some days will be good and others I can barely climb the stairs

Think with the mental stuff that fluctuates a lot as well

I am not very good at remembering I have PRN meds

I vacillate between good days and “sort of” bad days. I say sort of cuz they’re still better than they were in January when i was suicidal…now they just might be days with more voices or boredom or a splash of paranoia. I can deal with that.

It’s not unusual to switch off having good days and bad days. Every day is not going to be a good day.

Yes it happens to me. I have some days when the psychosis is stronger and some days I’m depressed. Then other days I’m doing well and forget I’m ill. I’m schizoaffective.

Exactly how I feel

I’m starting to also think my real diagnosis is schizoaffective
Might need mood stabilizer or something
