I've never experienced full-blown psychosis. What about you?

I’ll be raising this and other issues at my next appointment with the pdoc. I should note that I’ve never experienced paranoia or voices, just a few visual hallucinations probably caused by the meds, and some fleeting “delusions”. I honestly don’t think I suffer from sz.

You’re lucky then

I’ve been in a full-blown episode before, many times. Not something I’d want to repeat.

Full blown is my normal life off meds, so I stay on meds

Meds can’t cause that. Did you take any drugs in your life?

Maybe it was drug induced and you stopped taking drugs. Its possible.

Sounds like you’re in denial man. It’s dangerous.

I’ve felt the same way too early on. Even had a doctor tell me that one time that I was never probably psychotic, but she changed her mind.

I don’t know what triggered it. Maybe adderall? Maybe stress. Maybe a lot of factors. I went down hill in 2015. I still haven’t hallucinated in my entire life except hearing voices and stuff when falling alseep and sleeping. Even normies have that.

I think my case deserves to be documented. I’m still flabbergasted that I haven’t received any media attention or attention yet in terms of case studies and crap.

Unless you can work a part time job and live independently and take care of yourself, you’re probably sick man. Unless you got an intellectual disability, which you obviously don’t.

Don’t be a problem patient and don’t hurt yourself in the long term.

I did some drugs decades ago, never much or for long, but ADs can cause hallucinations in some cases.

It’s true that I haven’t worked in decades but that’s down to my character flaws for which I must take full responsibility. I may have some eccentricities of mind but I’m not ill. I’ve suffered from depression, that’s it

Υou don’t sound psychotic to me. Even the ideas of solipsism don’t sound as bizarre delusions of sz. Maybe you are schizotypal

Thanks, some people here, however we’ll meaning, expect me to fail, to be punished for quitting APs. I don’t even accept the label of schizotypal. I suffer from ocd and I obsess over existential issues

Its because 90% of schizophrenics need meds but your ideas resemble schizotypal or schizoid pd. They’re bizarre.

17

Unusual perhaps, but not delusional.

18

Yeah, schizoid and schizotypal don’t experience delusions, hallucinations or psychosis. Just bizarre.

I doubt it. I think your schizophrenic but are going through a phase or 2. Im not a doctor nor am I diagnosing you. Its an online forum.

You could have a severe pd but I dont know. Could be schizotypal pd.

Lots of people claim a special relationship with God or the universe, or believe in some form of simulation theory, but they are not crazy.
