I have never truly accept myself as a person and also my illness schizophrenia.After Mirtazapine was added on November 2013,everything seems to be better,I got hope and started to trust medication but there will always be setback for me which is why not accepting myself causes more problem for me and my family

Mirtazapine effect was lessen after 5 months of it working very well,during the five months I thought I had finally find a good combination of medication in abilify and Mirtazapine but in the end,it’s not the answer and from November 2013,except the first 5 months where everything was execellent,there was a 3 month period I was well again and also another 3 month I was doing well,the rest I was suffering from mental illness while living life…It’s quite sad that I haven’t found my answer after 6 years of my first SZ diagnosis

I really hope the almighty God can treat us,especially people here on this forum suffering from SZ to all find a method be it Good combo of meds or Therapy so that we would not suffer so much as we definately do not deserve these unnecessary suffering

I googled Mirtazapine , and it’s for depression, also you’re on 5mg of abilify which is also used for depression at that dose, so I don’t understand why you’re not on an anti psychotic if you have schizophrenia . I’m confused.

I was a little defiant at one stage of the illness,after a series of event which included stopping all psychiatric meds I only return to 5mg abilify daily…recent two appontments ago I asked my psychiatris if 5mg of abilify would be enough for schizophrenia,he told me everyone varies,some might need 20mg some 10mg and he said I was doing okay with 5mg,so he said will stay me at 5mg…

Ability does have antipsychotic qualities at above 10 mg.
