Schizos can sound as normies and even better.
I was off medication for eight years.
Then I had cancer and few years later was hospitalised psychotic .
I thought water was poisoned .was delusional about different things etc
I was in hospital put on olanzapine then latuda but latuda is bad for me.
Feel hysterical, intense, anxiety,upset,worried,jawclenching ,difficult breathing in a way cause of snxietyâŚ
Iâm going to quit latuda.
Canât take it anymore and coming off latuda will be difficult.
If I try medication again might try geodon or back on olanzapine but it made me gain 20 kg.
I will try with out anti psychotic and just sleep tablet at night and supplements.

I was on Olanzapine for 20 years, I stopped taking it 3 years ago. I am not recovered though, I have just forced myself to cope without medication. I started the process initially by just walking away without medication or scripts and moved to another State for a few months like an addict going cold turkey. But I only did it because life on medication had become impossible due to how overweight I was and how ill I felt every day.
Are you better from the cancer now? And are you better from being psychotic.
I hated the weight gain also

Thatâs a call for your doctor to make. Getting diagnosed by strangers on the Net with questionable or no medical backgrounds is always a bad idea. Stick to real physicians.

Hey pixel. How are you?
Schizophrenic with ongoing symptoms. Also, autistic. As per your question from the other thread that was locked:
Hi pixel. Did you ever try stopping the medication. How did you feel after.
Psychotic. Going off meds ALWAYS results in hospitalization for me. Been mostly med-compliant for over 25 years now. The bad patches were the ones where I thought I knew better than my docs. Always a bad idea.

I want to say after 23 years of medication now my pdoc relief me from Aripiplazole. He advised me to left this tablet in last prescription but I wanted to continue for 3 months more. This is last month and I am worrying about my future. I am living normally. My big worry is my children education and about 2 million IR loan I borrowed from bank. If I hospitalised by psychotic than what happens I unable to imagine. But I am aware that psychosis donât start immediately for me, it starts slowly so I have options to continue tablet of SZ.
I thought I was cured from sz in 2007 when I came off my meds (with help of pdoc) and remained in remission. That was four years after my diagnosis. Then in 2012 it came back and has been with me ever since. Had to go back on meds again. And tried coming off them again but failed. So i fall most likely in 50% who show improvement but not recover completely.
I am even psychotic on medication. Can not imagine what itâd be without meds. =(
Iâve seen so many different figures that I donât know who to believe. Some medical people will say that no one recovers completely. Or the argument is what is the criteria that constitutes a full recovery. And for @Mj235674. Are you under the care of a doctor who is monitoring you? Itâs usually not a good idea to adjust your medication yourself.
Lots of schizophrenics get put on medication and after awhile they start feeling better and so they stop taking it. They donât realize that theyâre only feeling good because they have medication in their system and that once they go off meds and the effects wear off it is very likely that that they will relapse. It might take a couple of years or just several months but this happens to many, many, schizophrenics.
