Life has been good to me recently but I sort of miss you all.My younger bro is back from UK where he studies and will be back for 2 months,he will go back in 2 weeks time really appreciate his company.I had gone out socializing more often,not all time I had good conversation but I am still glad I still enjoy some good times.I will keep staying active and not let negative thoughts and loneliness get me too much.

Oh,my psychiatrist said if I would like to reduce my Mirtazapibe dosage?Should I listen to him or stick to “If it’s not broken,don’t try to fix it”?

Love you guys,and have a good time!

Can go either way with reductions. Ideally you want the minimum necessary to reduce the unwanted side effects.

Don’t face serious side effect from Mirtazapine,it only causes some sedation which coffee can help

But I am on Abilify and had Some sexual issue

Mirtazapine helps me a lot,I am doing very well now,I don’t know if it’s worth the risk to reduce it

Seems you already made up your mind on it.

Good to hear that you are socializing, sometimes it’s hard with family, cuz they don’t really get our daily struggle.

Do you have pics from your last trip?

I would love to see them.

Oh wow, there is also a mural of a rider behind him, that’s so cool. I feel the whole ruggedness of the building and the riding. Great shot.

Since meds have (potentially harmful) side-effects the “not broken, don’t fix it” argument is invalid. If you do not feel depressed then reducing AD dosage is probably a good thing. And besides therapy works really well for depression. ADs however are only slightly more effective than placebo.

@Gtx1990
I’m glad your getting out and about and starting to enjoy some other interest.

Getting out and keeping the spirits up is very important.

Love the pic with the motorcycle. It’s nice to hear that your doing better. . :v:

The worst part about my SZ is that pain acts up in the left region of the brain. Without that pain, I’d be doing perfectly fine, though obviously somewhat lethargic/lower-functioning b/c of the medication I am on (which is another problem).

I’m basically just waiting it out until Autumn & Winter start up again. I’m more in-tune with the seasons & the weather since becoming SZ. I hope I get to have some euphoric moments during the transitions between seasons.

Sounds like you’re doing good Gtx. Make the most of it and keep it up. It will pay off.
