I know you said you don’t want drugs but antipsychotics are NOTHING like opioids and do not have addictive potential. This is like having a high fever and not wanting to take ibuprofen because you’re scared of getting addicted. It simply isn’t going to happen.

Antipsychotics are the ONLY thing that will help long term with your symptoms. As for your feeling suicidal, I have been there myself many times. In fact I had years of my life where I just passively wanted to die and the only thing keeping me going was wanting to complete my goals in life, I had no joy and was in constant suffering from symptoms. But then I found the right medication for me, I got into therapy and now I am completely stable, I have had pretty much no symptoms in months and no major psychotic episodes in years. I’m happy and life is going fantastic. The same could happen for you if you get yourself the right help.

I initially also felt I couldn’t tell anyone or my life would be over-I felt I’d be locked in a psych hospital forever. But that didn’t end up being the case at all and actually I didn’t start getting the help I needed until I started opening up about my experiences. Just some things to think about. You’re just starting out in the fight so I know it seems really really hard and awful right now but things do get better I promise!!

I agree with all the comments. Opioids will kill you and it’ll be a long, dark road. APs are what you need. If your current dr can’t help you, try another dr.

dont worry youre gonna get help. You have to see a doctor though or atleast stop listening to the voices…you gotta get out and find something to do for a while

how are you feeling now?

@Anonymously you should get an antipsychotic, like others here have said. Opioids are not a proper medication for hallucinations.

I went to e.r. got AP, I didn’t know my Effexor was only for depression. I am also on valium now for about a week. After I talked to my doctor my brain felt like was washing itself, like my fever went away. I’m just staying home and lowkey until this abilify kicks in. I think that’s what it is called. Thank you all for your input and willingness to help a stranger.

Effexor can also help with anxiety.
It technically is an antidepressant.
I’m prescribed it for anxiety.

I hope this helps.
