I wonder if my meds have stopped working

my condition seems to be worsening. return of panic attacks, more frequent voices, more energy, not a bad thing, but it’s so unusual. today is good day, but last night i was thinking, man im getting worse. maybe time for a new med, i am already on the highest dose. i guess i’ll give it a month until my next pdoc appt and see what happens could just be a stressful week or something. maybe it is nicotine withdrawal? it’s been 50 days since my last smoke.

That’s impressive, most people trying to quit never make it that far. It’s going to start getting easier soon, you’ll slowly start thinking less and less about it. When I quit it was at about the 6 month mark that I was, in large part, over it. It’s been 13 years since I quit and I don’t even think about it anymore, and I live with 2 heavy smokers.

yes trinza. less side effects from trinza compared to sustenna, i wonder if it’s less effective? maybe just a couple bad weeks, idk? i’ve been on trinza a couple years now.

yeah i had bad anhedonia my first 18 months of sustenna, but it got better, i was always on the max dose, actually i was getting a shot every 3 weeks, until i developed high cholesterol and they lowered it to every 4 weeks and then later i started getting an injection every 5 weeks. my pdoc changed now, my old one retired.

You’re doing weird things like wanting to move In with your parents instead of adventuring

Just something I noticed

According to the internet

“No dose adjustment for INVEGA is recommended based on gender, race, or smoking status

So it’s not tobacco or lack thereof.
