i met with my new psychiatrist yesterday . it went very well i was glad to meet him. he gave me 2 medications to start on and i have to see him next week to see how it’s going. The thing is, part of my delusion is that the meds will make me feel worse. I told him this. he reassured me about it saying it won’t. I was supposed to start meds last night but i didn’t i am popping them in a few minutes and i hope i don’t get a bad reaction. I will post how it goes. wish me well !
Just took them. nervous right now.
huge leap of faith for me to do this

I hope the meds help, I too have worried that meds will make me worse. since there has been times when it has made me manic or anxious sometimes depressed.

Good luck witht the new meds. Sleep is good, especially when we’re not used to it

I recall very well that first risperidone pill I ever took after 8 months of psychosis. Within twenty minutes I felt the tension in my body release, and just managed to walk to my bed before I drifted off into sleep for an hour or ten. There may be conflicting ideas, thoughts, about taking medication. It’s okay to exaggerate the positives of it for now. Will help to give it a real chance. Man that peace and tranquility after an episode is such a welcome change to me… It will be worth the try.

Med’s sometimes can make you uncomfortable when you first start to take them. You can work with your pdoc to find the best med’s for you to take - med’s that control your symptoms but have the fewest side effects. The med’s we take are pretty strong. Be med compliant, but try to get the med’s that are the best fit.
