She said I still will be on meds, and from what I’ve understand - maybe few maybe more years untill we will be trying to cut em’.
She said I am very high functioning even though she said that what I have is “Pseudoneurotic schizophrenia”. ((I googled it and this term is very old fashioned))
She suggested me kariprazine again, but I said no, because these meds even made me worse.
So I stayed on ablify.
Overall she is happy with my condition now. She even said that it’s strange that I am highly functioning, because my illness is partially biological (it’s her opinion), but I have almost zero negative symptoms.
I also learnt that I actually hear voices, even though they are only in my head.
After this visit I will try to accept my condition more. I will try to accept, that I have some psychotic stuff happening in my brain.
Sounds like some progress. I’m not a fan of the high/ low functioning terms. If you’ve a psychotic disorder and on meds then you’re not getting function like normals so it’s still a burden.
Stick with your treatment and see how it goes. Most folk here have changing diagnosis over time.
I agree… I still miss these days when I was before my first psychosis. Everything seemed easy.
Yeah, diagnoses changes.
Somehow I am in that state where I want to be 100% sure what’s happening with me.
Also what my doc said, is that I trully suffer from high levels anxiety and OCD thoughts (harm)
So that’s why she called it pseudoneurotic SZ.
Things change with countries too I’ve found. Having internal voices is in the realms of paranoid sz so you’re in the right place. Important thing is take the meds and keep informed- it pays to be proactive with your treatment.
