How long did it take you to recover from the psychosis?
I’ve been sick for 10 years. I’m not expecting getting rid of all the symptoms. I still hear voices and suffer from negatives.
I don’t have delusional thinking anymore tough, which is good.

Thought broadcasting sucks. I only had it when I was acutely psychotic.
You’ll probably recover from it.

I’ve never had acute psychosis. I think people just think bad things about me. But I know that’s nonsense. I’ve been suffering for 2 years, and how long did you have this delusion and what medicine did you take?

I was delusional or prodromal for 4-5 years. Then my delusions lasted for 3-4 years when I got medicated.
I’m on zyprexa and vraylar.

Now I’m taking olanzapine and aripiprazole. Is this two years short and should I wait for results?

What is your olanzapine dosage?
I have tried almost all medicines available in my country, but now I switched to combinations. I was taking everything in high doses. For example, Olanzapine 25 milligrams.

I am now taking 10 mg of aripiprazole and 5 mg of olanzapine because my doctor told me that I can’t handle high doses and it takes a long time and moderate doses.

Ok, it’s too early to say!
Try the olanzapine abilify combo for a little while. Perhaps your thought broadcasting will subside.

My doctor tells me that it is very rare that this symptom lasts for so long, but one day you will wake up and everything will pass.

We have a few here who are treatment resistant.
I don’t think you are one of them because you seem to have mild symptoms. You have insight, you don’t hear voices or have delusional thinking.
Hopefully you will feel better soon.
Also try to occupy your mind with something so you can ignore the thought broadcasting.
Do you read or play video games? Do you have friends or family?

I have a lot of friends. I used to always go to dance and I didn’t stop studying. But I stopped dancing because the drugs made me gain 20 kilos. My mother supports me a lot.
I’ve had problems for 35 years, started in my 20s

how old are you? I am 20
It took three years for ideas of reference to go away. They returned after I had psychotic episode seven years after that. But this time they didn’t persist as long.
