Honestly, it’s an amazing place. I like to be here. People here are sweet, nice and good. And we here have one similarity - at least once we fought psychosis.
But… some members think they know better. And it’s purely sad.
To be honest, I am living a good life, one day I’ll probably will be off meds - but some still say I shouldn’t do that, or shouldn’t do this. I want to remind to people here, that every of our case is unique here. Mine is probably drug induced psychotic experience. Some have SZ. Some SZA. some maybe had one, bad psychotic experience due to stress or smth else.
We shouldn’t play doctors here.
It’s my first here a bit angry letter here, but rather an honest one.
Thanks for attention.
@anon8411913 you have helped me fight psychosis. You have helped me reach recovery. You shared so much of your life. I see your situation and why you are angry.
İ was told my opinion about hyperprolactemia and high prolactine on one topic.it was one of the my medicine side effects also.thats why i was searched that disease deeply.thats why i thought its good idea to share who is same problem with me.if you guys talk about that reply i m deeply sorry.i wasn t mean to play doctor.sorry i m bit squeamish and paranoid about at communication
@anon8411913 i agree if it’s drug induced psychosis then If you don’t use drugs that there’s a great chance you can get off of it I’m not a doctor however
As far as diagnosing people yeah it does at times seem like it
But yeah as my momma always said say no to drugs
I believe if it’s drug induced you not only can but WILL get better idk tho it just seems likely
But I did get permanent psychosis off of Ritalin and other ADHD medication that’s why I’m so incredibly against it
And I also want to acknowledge and apologize for having been someone who mentioned a possible diagnosis. It was not my place and I’m sorry and I hope you can forgive me.
I see no anger in this. Its more so a polite notice of concerns.
Unfortunately in places where lots of people, strangers, come together - there will be people you like, some you dislike, some who make you smile, some who make you cry… forums are no exception.
I hope I’ve never offended you @anon8411913 idk I don’t remember saying you or anybody else should/shouldn’t take medication if I’ve offended anybody sorry
Anyway I hope you can be successful on what your trying to do I wish I could get off meds it’s just not possible with the severity I have
Also as I said before drugs are bad especially ones not prescribed for you and/or are illegal they made them illegal for a reason
Maybe I shouldn’t do it but when people want to go off their meds I usually tell them from my experience that it is rare that someone can successfully stop their medication. You’re right, everyone is unique and maybe I should stop saying that but that is my experience. After 14 years here I have seen too many people relapse from going off their medication. I don’t get aggressive or forceful about telling someone, ultimately it is their decision but I hate to see people making the same mistakes. Maybe I should just shut up and keep my mouth shut about it and let them make their own mistakes.
