Schizophrenia and Depression

Few months ago I searched internet for " lack of motivation " " lack of goals " etc,

all this time I don’t know " lack of goals "

yesterday I came to know " Avolition - lack of goals sort of

and when I searched for " lack of motivation " " lack of pleasure " etc

I found anhedonia.

I was thinking I have both Schizophrenia and Depression

I even posted a BBC British Broadcasting Corporation youtube video on this forum somewhere

I came to know Schizophrenics can have multiple disorders

Now I know that Anhedonia is because of Antipsychotics

without anti-psychotics life is hell

and after I used large doses of anti-psychotics I have drug induced ANHEDONIA.

I now have drug induced DEPRESSION.

I take

Olanzapine 20 mg single dose every night

Resperidone 4 mg

Ziprasidone 40 mg

Recently I used Selegiline 50 mg

Selegiline each tablet 5 mg

entire strip every morning 50 mg

During this month and even after this month I am happy.

I discontinued Selegiline because

Selegiline + Olanzapine comes with problems

also

Selegiline + Resperidone also comes with complications/problems

After discontinuing Selegiline and adding Ziprasidone I feel awesome

Selegiline was soooooo awesome

and I must not continue with selegiline as it comes with complications.

Ziprasidone is awesome

The combination of these three anti-psychotics is simply awesome.

If you take selegiline 10 mg or more you must follow special diet or else death will follow for sure

Well now, makes you wonder if the benefits outweigh the risks when mixing that med cocktail.

I’m not sure if I hate being depressed more, or being called psychotic.
Being called psychotic is very depressing.

hey,

Your not quite right. Symptoms like you describe were detailed before the medications. Yeah medications may help that some but it’s not the complete picture. It’s probably a bit more complicated than that.

A friend in the struggle,

I agree with your opinion.

the only advice I can sincerely give anyone in this topic is that the thing that keeps me going the most is knowing that my mind has taken me to places where I wanted to kill myself because I believed I was being forced or controlled. and I have such an emotion with those old terrors that I would never let a normal thought take me away… I have to much motivation of self defence to let… “hear it as you may” my MIND kill me. my realties tell me that people push you down and I am paranoid to the point I would look at the person bringing me down as if they are trying to kill me… (me in a rage trying to defend myself simply by not letting those thoughts progress doing whatever that reality tells me to survive)

find a motivation for survival you may have… and collaborate it into your system where when you get the suicidal thoughts you get that urge to PUNCH IT RIGHT IN THE FACE. lol for the lack of a better term.
