I lost my insurance a few weeks back. I am working on getting it back. I have to make a few phone calls tomorrow. Hopefully i figure it out because i ran out of my medication about 2 weeks ago. I went through some bad physical symptoms these past couple weeks from withdrawal. I didn’t last a full day at work once last week. Now today i come home from work and my paranoia kicks in and my mind is running wild right now. I am being hammered with thoughts like i am going to hell , i have permanently ruined my brain, If i was a better person i wouldn’t have gotten sick, etc. I am worried i wont be able to go to work tomorrow. I hope it passes and i can get some sleep tonight.

Schizophrenia has nothing to do with what type of person you are. It’s bad luck really. I hope you can handle the insurance difficulties and get back on the meds soon. No one who’s willing to rake them deserves to suffer like that.

Buy some Haldol. It’s cheap and works.

Some people get off them but i believe most have to stay on them. To me it’s no big deal if i have to take them for life.

If you don’t have insurance buy your meds from a canadian pharm if you’re in the US. Sometimes better than insurance.

I feel more stable today. I have been getting some negative thoughts throughout the day but nothing as intense as last night.For a little bit i thought i was gonna have to go to the emergency room.
I made the first phone call i needed to make to get my insurance back, but i couldn’t get a person on the line. I am waiting for a call back.

Maybe your doctor can get you some free samples of your usual med?

Worth a call anyway.
