So here it is… I saw this new doc yesterday and for him I am schizoaffective, depressive type, lol… I have paranoia, that’s for sure but a hard depression too lol… I was in bad mood yesterday, I was akathisic in front of him but I told him that only Zyprexa puts me on my feet so he keeps it. He added lithium to my cocktail, maybe it will help. He told me that my sun glasses are a sign of paranoia for him lol 
It hurted me a bit but whatever… Probably ive inherited this from my father, yeap…
so the fight continues for me 
Here, its still just in the private sector that you can have a more accurate diagnosis. but I am still part of you all here lol the weed was bad for me he said and the isolation too…I should relearn everything else again.
Ill be here, hugs
I have serious depression but find myself a paranoid schizophrenic in Australia. In America the psydoc called me sz affective…really it’s more common in that system for sure but it’s all about the meds! If it works then booyah your saying well done!
Weed is shite for schizophrenics. That is a no brainer! Hope the lithium gives you a kick and it all works out!
It’s not a bad thing getting another opinion!
Your not escaping us this easily!! Sz affective is sz with mood…most of us have some mood component!
haha, yes, I am not running from here, you’ve helped me really much and still helping Yes, I know, there is often a mood component in sz.
For the weed, I smoked too much, really… in the worst conditions… always alone, in front of the tv etc etc… I dont expect miracles from the lithium tbh, I am even afraid that it will be hard cause I already have a Depakote…

hugs Anna1…it’s a long process but hoping your getting closer to some decent function! Keep on keeping on and look foward to seeing how you go! Always interested in mood stabilizers for my own problems but never wanted to mess with what works for me!! Big hug!
