I told my therapist about the forum too and she thought it was great that I was sharing with other people. She also reads my schizoaffective disorder blog. I really love her
Im sorry if Im crossing a line here @anon80629714 but youre symptoms free and youre able to work. Thats more than a lot of us hope to accomplish. Im grateful my symptoms are fading but still have some delusions and mixed episodes and a little paranoia. I think I owe the meds and my family support for that. What do you think about this?
I have mood issues too mostly mixed episodes but Iāve been doing great lately. In my opinion the only issue has been my mood since I started treatment and nothingās been done about it.
cause you ALLOW THEM TO Ish
Seriously, I was asked to take meds. Didnāt comply. Was put in a hospital for 4 days.
After release I was told everyday to take Meds. I simply MOVED OUT.
Now I am leaving the city in a week and living my own life. Seriously Ish if you want something u need to take control over it.
Oh and before someone else blasts me over not taking Meds,
Ever since the cheating wife has left me - I have managed to do 2 things:
a. Start a new love life with someone
b. Last week my Boss offered me a promotion at my work.
I have managed to do both a. and b. WITHOUT MEDS and WITH DELUSION. The greater impact on me was the Trauma of Hospitization which I am still not yet come out of. (Probably will never), Though sometimes my Mother tells me that she regrets the hospitalization when she knew I was strong within.
But you HAVE TO START to TAKE CONTROL OF YOUR LIFE.

I mean that truly believe I donāt have sz but yet constantly put pressure on me to take meds.
[/quote]People who donāt have SZ tend to be simple folk when it comes to understanding mentalities & the duress of mental disorders. Weāre seasoned pros when it comes to brain-related traumas, they arenāt.
My family was highly supportve of me coming off of meds, it was the doctors and my social worker who were highly coercive in trying to keep me on themā¦ so I had a balance of luck there.
Ish im on invega 3mg. I think its very similar to 7.5 mg of abilify. Both equals to about 1.5 mg of risperdal.
