I forgot to take my pills yesterday and I had a good day. No ‘hallucinations’ or anything.
Last time I went a day without taking pills I tried to eat the handles on the chairs of a train because I thought they were made of cheese.
I must be getting better!
I must say, that is some radical stuff [quote=“turtle, post:1, topic:52720”]

lololol 
you’re probably okay with one day missed on most AP’s, some have pretty long half-lives (they stay in the blood longer). Mind if I ask what meds you’re on?
Hopefully you’ll be back on them tonight, with no setbacks!
I guess their a necessary evil, till something better comes along!
I’m holding out for stem cells, rather then 3rd gen AP’s.
Yes, the mouse is right. A long half life is to be thanked.
I missed a dose of my med’s recently. I woke up at 7:00 pm Tuesday and thought it was 7:00 am Wednesday, and I took my Wednesday morning med’s. That left me one dose short, so I skipped on Saturday morning. Sometimes when I miss a dose of my med’s I get a euphoric feeling. It feels good, but I have enough experience to know that it won’t last, and I’ll get in trouble if I don’t take my med’s regularly. Be careful. Playing with your med’s can be dangerous.
Ap’s I could probably live without, it’s anxiety meds like Lyrica (stepping down painfully) and klonopin withs short half lives and bad withdrawal symptoms (can’t sanely come off) that get me, I could go about a day but that’s the limit. Everytime I’ve left treatment, whether it was legit or someone I’d conned into prescribing my adderal 30’s…they always thought I was losing my mind (if anyone was evne there other than a girl to call and remind me to eat) they more recently always thought my benzo withdrawal was psychosis, and now that the emergency room doesn’t give no ■■■■ and disregards everything you say but wants half the blood in my body everytime I’m there, that’s great.
As long as I avoid state commitment, which has become over the years some sick game, there’s a god damn reason they want me there so bad, there has to be. I’m too sane though, hospital pysch ward stay everytime, a doctor even once warned me my mother was signing up papers with the state and told me to ixnay on the psychward…nay and he’d cover for me. Makes you wonder.
I’m on 12mg of Invega and 30mg of lexapro.
I’m glad you found my cheese story funny, I was hoping someone would get a laugh out of that! 
those two meds have long half-lives-- you should be relatively okay if you miss one day. And yes I love when we find humor in the psychosis. Mine has had its moments of humor amidst horrific experiences- it punctuates it well.
The other positive thing that has happened is that I have started listening to music on the tram to and from work again!
I was way too paranoid to do that for the past year or so.
I think you thought you might symptomatically eat the handles which you knew weren’t really made of cheese (or you didn’t). You can’t really eat the handles of a train seat although you might think you can or might have thought you wanted to do that. A good example of irrational thinking attributed to the SZ mind. Thinking produced by the faulty SZ brain. You probably thought that because you hadn’t taken your meds that day.
