Somehow… I believe, I still do have mild symptoms.
I doubt they’ll ever go away.
It’s just so freaking hard to accept that.
I would sell my soul to be with a healthy mind.
Meds are my life changers, probably. I doubt I could live without them - well, maybe, one day but…

Once I tried to stop meds for a week, and it was awful.
They’re truly keeping me alive.
I am just happy, that while on meds, I am just as normal human being as anyone else.

Hey only thing you can do is to talk with your pdoc about reducing meds, try it and monitor it. Then pray to not become psychotic…

I know I know. @dreamer54
The more time goes the more I realise that living without meds could be impossible for me.
Though… That one week without meds was awful. I also know that when I am stressed and etc., I still experience symptoms

Yeah what did surprise me is that pdocs don’t know whats gonna happen. It’s like “ok, less meds, let’s see what happens”.
It’s not like a certain science idk

I know what you mean. It’s very subjective. Like, we truly don’t know what’s going to happen next, even while on meds… @dreamer54
@AwesomeFisherman you’re right. When I have fun, when I do something enjoyable, I forgot that I have problems with my brain

I feel my schizophrenia is now in balance.
I feel everything would be just fine with me if I didn’t get these “dissociative” episodes/symptoms.
I have never heard anybody else go through same sort of things I do. I wish there was somebody who could relate to what I’m going through. I feel so alone with my problems.

Why you don’t like meds? It’s nothing bad that you take them. If you need . Like diabetes . Or other illness. You are not blind or deaf. You have full body function. And you are obsessed of taking meds . It’s not a big deal. The less you think about meds you take the happier and healthier you will be. Thoughts create reality

And people with sz can live happy and fulfilling lifes. If they treat themselves with love kindness and respect and compassion. There are truly more worst conditions for people. More bad
