Cause I still hope, they work a bit more. In general, I wait to decrease my paranoia and my anxiety. To lower my body sensations (hallucinations maybe) and to start to feel positive emotions… I really pay efforts, but with all this I guess I remain quite passive still.
I hear from here and there, that for some people, the meds worked after more than an year, but in general, you all here say, that they should work faster… But its not my case. So I would like to just have this hope, that they will make their work after a bit more of time, isn’t it? What do you think? Is my pdoc selling me lies, that they can work after years even?
But yes, I was ill for very long time and in the past, I have lost a lot from the humanity in myself…
At age 19, I was put on low dosages of meds. I did well.
At age 25, the doctor took me off all meds. I did awful.
At age 28, they had nothing that could help me. So I said to the doctor, “Put me back on Trilafon.” Therefore, he put me on the largest dose that was recommended by the manufacturer.
That dose didn’t touch the psychosis. Then after some time, the psychosis broke over a three day period just like one would expect a fever to break sometimes.
I continue on a moderate dose of Trilafon. My life has been relatively sweet for decades now.
Maybe its more the time and the efforts who will pay, while on meds for a maintenance? Or who got better after more time on meds? How much time it took you? I guess I am not from the lucky ones, who gets relief from their meds just like this… I am a bit better lately tbh, but still have a lot of work to do. I hate my paranoia too, which messes with my thinking. The lack of emotions is hard too .
Nope. My doc doesnt want to switch my ap anymore. I tried all the aps on the market. I guess my state is not like for all of you here. Maybe i need more efforts. But i worry about my future. My progress is really slow. For who else the meds worked after much more time? How do you explain it? Maybe it was more the time,which helped you? I am afraid i even turned dumb wow… Being almost bedridden for 17 years is mad, yeap…
I wonder if my thinking problems are real. If my thinking can get better faster? In fact i think a lot for dumb things. But i always have the impression, that what i think about is wrong. I guess i suffer from incertainty in a way… I would like more positive emotions. Idk, i wish that my beliefs that ill put decades to recover is another delusion, whats your opinion on that?
No one?..
why my pdoc says it can take sometimes years for meds to work? Why she says this, while it sounds like a lie?
Ok, maybe theres no miracle med for some of us, but why this theory, that meds can take something like an year to work? I guess my mind is not calm still, that’s why I don’t have ‘‘normal’’ thinking…
@Anna1
I’m so sorry you are still struggling! I have no idea why your doctor told you the meds can take over a year to work. When meds didn’t work for me, I was tried on other meds. I understand you have tried many. Have any helped at all?
Thank you, dear LouiseG. Personnaly, its me who is quite surprised meds work so fast for some of you here. Its a terrible illness. Me, I lost all with it, even my personality, even my going outs. Does somebody know why my pdoc keeps saying, that it can take me years to recover with the meds? Maybe cause I have negatives, idk… But I have some positives too- like the paranoia, some false beliefs, suspiciousness… I pay efforts now, but I blame myself I pay very few still.
Waiting for the meds to work for years does this mean, that we are counting on my efforts with my pdoc? More than the meds? But I am almost sure that in my case, theres no med who will pull me out of this stuff… They don’t work on me very well … I wish I had more high spirit, with less fears, but its not the case still.
