Unusual Beliefs

Since switching back to Invega, I can think clearly again and my thoughts don’t block mid sentence. Recently i have been having delusional thoughts, but they dont usually have an emotional effect on me. Is having weird thoughts a process of having schizophrenia? Im considering upping my dose or adding a second antipsychotic but both my psychiatrist and my mum says that I don’t need it. Im feeling a bit owerhelmed now, I got su used to be in mental cage on haloperidol

I’m on invega trinza 819mg every three months injection and even though I have thoughts that are still irrational i can stay grounded and move past them. I take 3mg of risperadone daily too. It’s all helped me immensely.

My current psychiatrist says that I wont relapse on this dose of Invega. Im a bit sceptical. Do you have any suggestions? Im seeing my psychiatrist on thursday, last time he just prescribed bunch of xanax and Invega depots and thats it. I loved oral risperidone when I was taking it, 2mg at night would put me nicely asleep

I would just try to get across to your psychiatrist your concerns. It took awhile for me to find my best dosage.

I think it is normal for sz. I have thoughts which i am not emotionally entwined to, but because they are recurring, they do effect my behaviour and self insight.

I basically think that im destined for more than being unemployed or no longer sz impacted.

If you think it would help for your mom to talk with your doctor. I’m not sure.
