Just sharing

If I was experiencing delusions for a year and a half and sometimes catatonic then does that automatically mean that I have schizophrenia or could it have been another cause. I want to try to go without using risperidone and if I experience symptoms then I will take it. I just don’t want to be taking medicine I do not really need. I read that there can be other causes not just schizophrenia.

Hoping to get into painting again and creating. Don’t know what causes me to feel such a lack of motivation, focus and creativity. Maybe the meds.

Overall grateful that I am symptom free. Probably the medication to thank. Happy to have found such a good supportive forum. Maybe I will try 1 mg of resperidone instead of 2 and see how that goes of my psychiatrist allows.

Was experiencing very severe psychosis. Don’t know how I graduated college. Don’t really go out or meet boys just have no interest. Thankful to have such a supportive family, who is there for me and accepts me. They keep me in check. Just felt like sharing. Hope everyone is ok. Hope everyone has a happy Halloween.

Yes unfortunately the meds can cause that. Different meds have different impacts though like geodon didn’t cause it at all and actually did the opposite for me and made me more motivated!! I’m on rexulti now and haven’t noticed any change at all in my motivation, though I am on a tiny dose right now.
