Do you still take the meds?

46

yeah I do. I can’t function without meds and I lose touch with reality. Right now I’m on 60 mg Latuda and almost done with Geodon, will quit in a week.

47

I’m having good luck with Risperdal. It’s a good medicine.

Does Delusional Disorder go away?

49

no, not really. I have a chemical imbalance in my brain as my doc puts it. What do you have?

50

I checked your illness, it’s not that different from sz.

yeah first I thought it was depression with psychosis, then I thought it was schizophrenia then when I had the relapse in 2013, the doc told me it’s delusional disorder.
