I got a notion that my 12 years of documented severe mental illness was all a misunderstanding. I thought meds were not needed.
I would like to streamline my meds a little bit though. But because I have been on them for so long the slow reductions in the side meds (AD and anxiolytics) will have to be done over the course of many months/years.
If I could end up on seroquel monotherapy I would be very satisfied.
I’d say a good choice matey! It’s a tough cop a lot of the time but taking the pills does help most folk over the alternative.
Is funny @rogueone - you and @anon84763962 both say matey. Turtle says it because Australia is full of pirates!
I’m glad you’ve decided not to come off your med’s. I’ve tried that a couple of times, and it was a disaster. Work with your doctor and see what kind of medication regimen he recommends.
well, I am relieved you will stay on your meds…!! scared me a bit.
Ya that is best. You gotta take your meds. Good for you.
I am still trying to get a new diagnosis though but I can’t stop taking antipsychotics. I have pretty much figured out that I will need them the rest of my life.
I see my VA doc in July and I am going to see if he will make my trauma disorder the primary diagnosis on paper. I still don’t know what kind of trauma disorder he thinks I have though. He never said
When I got diagnosed with paranoid schizophrenia one of the doctors said if you don’t like that diagnosis we can change it to PTSD. I didn’t have a clue what schizophrenia was so I didn’t say anything but I should have taken her up on that. A doctor would sign me off to fly with PTSD but not with schizophrenia.
