I haven’t posted in awhile and missed this forum so here I go.
I got diagnosed with chronic paranoid schizophrenia. And last week he did. Swab sample to check my DNA and now I’m freaking out because now this place called Genesight has my dna and I’m scared of what they will do with it
The pdoc says it’s to find out which meds will work best for me. But I think I got suckered in on a new project that the government is conducting to control me
I can’t believe I consented to that!
I politely told him I didn’t have schizophrenia that it was a made up word to make me lose all credibility. That I believe it’s a code word to alert the people involved in this experiment.
Needless to say I got nowhere with that.
I applied for ssdi in May and got. Letter from them sAying they are sending me to their psychiatrist and to. Medical dr in September.
And I’m freaked out about that too
Said the psychiatrist visit may take 3 hours
And I’m like why in the hell would that take 3 hours?
And how can they provide a diagnosis in a one time 3 hour visit?
But I’m scared the most that if I’m honest they will send me away. I just don’t know what to do anymore it’s like all this sh it is out of my control 100%. Then he up’d my seroquel to 700mg after I explicitly told him I was doing fine on 500mg
I don’t think my body can tolerate that much I feel like I’m passing out sitting down. I’m getting way sick and tired of being their lab monkey on meds.
I just feel like it’s all coming to a head and I’m going to throw magnificent ranting raving fit.
Sorry for the rambling but you all are the ones I trust and can understand where I’m coming from. I say anything negative at the pdoc I get my meds increased.
Ok. Step 1 is to calm down about all this. Everybody is acting in your best interests.
Make sure you tell your doctor about this. He may lower your dose. But it sounds like they’re getting ready to switch you to another med anyway.
I’ve vaguely heard of genesight. They’re legit but I don’t know how accurate they are. My personal opinion is meds are just personal trial and error.
Yeah, seconding Genesight, all they’re doing is testing the DNA to find which antipsychotic works best for you. Nothing spooky.
Good luck by the way, hope you find the right treatment to calm down with.
Thanks @everhopeful I appreciate your input
It’s just that so much is going on and I’m scared about this ssdi thing count up in September. My pdoc is very aggressive in treatment and it like I don’t have time to get used to one increase before he up’d it again
And it’s just to much to process at times
Thanks for getting back with me I just need to vent and get it out and this is the only place I trust.
Me too @naturallycured. I’m a nervous wreck
And they won’t give me a nerve pill for some reason. I just need to stay calm and listen to some music or something
Don’t worry @Cindy10 it’s just a test to see which medications will work for you.
Everything is fine.
Thanks @Wave I’m staring to calm down just hearing all y’alls support helps me greatly
