Oh my god I know everything I write is so tiresome… But I stopped taking my meds a week ago, and I feel so SO nauseous all the f…'n time. I cant eat or put anything in my mouth because I feel so anxious and it makes me want to puke. And the voices are SCREAMING in my head, they were loud when I took the meds but even louder now. So I dont really understand, what’s the POINT with taking a lots of meds if they, yes, they lower the voices a bit, but it’s all still there.

Maybe you haven’t found the right med combo yet… You shouldn’t give up. Living with voices is terrible.

Nausea is a side effect of psychotropic drugs. At least they lower the voices a little. I agree with Andrey maybe you haven’t found the right med and right dose for you.

I get nauseous when I don’t take my meds, too. I guess the answer is, the meds make it so you can at least hold food down, and makes the voices a bit quieter. Can I ask what meds you have tried already? It took me ten years to find the perfect med for me, but it was totally worth it. My voices are completely gone, and I have very few side effects.

It takes time to find the right meds for you. I know for me, it’s been almost 7 months now. For many, it takes way longer to find a med that works for them. I know, for me, the meds quiet my voices to a tolerable level, and I only hear them sometimes as opposed to all the time, which is way better than how it was. I’d prefer that to hearing this a-hole blabbering in my ear all day.
Wow thats very good!!! I’ve tried zyprexa, abilify and now seroquel. So not much, but I also tried cisordinol, they call it in norway at least, didnt like it, and a lots of extra things like nozinan, sobril, truxal, vallergan, immovane and so on. I dont know much about the drugs/meds, but Im very afraid of what i do know
Yeah abruptly stopping seroquel often makes people feel sick. I would see a doctor just to be sure.
They like to dish out clozapine to people who are treatment resistant, but you have to have regular blood tests with it. After which they might try polypharmcy.
I’d say your doc will try to reestablish you back on your last meds and try to get you some therapy like CBT.

I don’t know what meds feel like. I have avoided them since my symptoms started more than 20 years ago. A lot of highs and lows for me inbetween

Every time you have a relapse from quitting your meds it will be more difficult to get the illness back under control. I’ve been on Zyprexa for 20 years. Yeah meds suck but what are you going to do? you need to take them.
I’ve tried a lot of different meds over the years and most I couldn’t tolerate. I started with 10 mgs of Zyprexa and just stuck with it. I refused to take any more but I decided if I was going to take meds long term it would have to be something I could tolerate.
Most doctors tend to start patients on high doses to get the symptoms under control fast. Long term it’s not the best solution in my opinion. If I had to take high doses I would quit taking them too.
Try a lower dose but just stick with it. In the long run your illness may let up. I heard voices for years but over time the hallucinations diminished.

I came down with schizophrenia 20 years ago. I was hearing voices having all of the sensory hallucinations and severe delusions. I was hospitalized twice with severe psychosis. My prognoses was very poor. The doctors told my mom I would probably have to be institutionalized.
I’ve been taking my medication for 20 years without stoppage. I’m 40 years old and I still take it to this very day. I still have hallucinations from time to time but my illness has let up.
I know other people with schizophrenia that their illness has never let up. Everyones different some poeple respond to meds better then others.
Long term outlook with this illness depends a lot on how early someone gets treatment and whether they stick with treatment.
I’ve stuck with treatment for 20 years. I heard voices not stop for 5 years straight. I am by no means cured but my illness has let up substantially.
