Ive stayed sober for almost 3 weeks and what do i get, more insanity. My mind just won’t stop. What did i do cruel world to deserve this. Its like an acid trip that never stops. Just over and over it plays out all my life like a nightmarish movie. I just want it to stop. I want to cry.
Sounds like a good time to reach out to your support team? Nurse? Doctor? Maybe they can help with symptoms and/or anxiety before you reach the crisis stage?
Sending hugs…

I worry sometimes people get sick of my posts about naltrexone, but no one has tried it here but me that I know of. SO I will keep posting. It really helps get rid of the “insanity” of the disease of addiction. I take it and it’s been a miracle drug for me. Does very little—>no damage to the liver, and has no side-effects. it should be used more . I would ask your doctor about it.

I feel the same way its like god wants me to drink or do drugs or why is he allowing others to become so socially accepted because of it and enjoy bieng sociall so much becuase of it.
I know I think this way because of Schizophenia
The only real drug I am using now is caffiene but this drug is laughed at compared to the feelings you can get from alcohol and recreational drugs. I realize some cant tolerate caffiene but it does not make one so social and express themselves as only they could because of alcohol or recreational drugs.
The main reasons I want to drink alcohol now is to forget my positive and negative schizophrenic symptoms and just become a sociall butterfly and express my self more.

What dosage are you on now? Is it still 15mg?
hello, Kazuma. if you drank for a longer time and often, it can be withrawal symptoms, what you are experiencing. you can find a lot of informations about alcohol and withdrawal symptoms on internet. i hope this state of yours will not last for a long time.

do it do anything for sz symptoms or just alcohol craves?
I believe it does!
MAYBE it’s because alcoholism causes depression and insanity and anxiety, but it’s improved all that in me.
I wish someone else on this board would give it a try, because I’m sick of being the sole sz.com “naltrexone advocate”.
It could just bind to the alcoholic part of the brain, which made me insecure, depressed, anxious and insane,maybe your depression comes solely from another part of the brain and it wouldn’t do anything? Idk though it’s really helped me. I’ve gone down on my antipsychotic since starting it and feel fine because I felt much better. I can’t speak enough about it. And it has no sideeffects and very little liver damage on 50 mg (the dose I’m on)
@Kazuma,
I hear a lot of voices also.
But, calm down, we all have difficult moments in our lives.
One day things will be better, just calm down.
I’d say to you to take your medications properly, don’t use alcohol or tobacco.
One thing that I like to do is to read, books or Internet, this calms me. Try it, this will be good to you. Try to pray also, this is good also.
