I do unfortunately. But I feel it’s from the medication not my illness because when I was I’ll I didn’t experience any negative symptoms. The only positive experience I had was delusional thinking I thought I heard people talking about me but then I realized I was misinterpreting what they were saying. It wasnt about me at all. People are too busy to be talking about others in that way when I came out of it. But they weren’t the only delusions I had. I thought my neighbor was spying on me putting things in the walls and such
Did you have depressive symptoms both times you were psychotic? If so, could be psychotic depression.
No both times I was psychotic I had the same stress triggers and the same feeling of a break when at work. After which I quickly fell into delusions.
The second time was really my belief that the first delusions were correct and then it spiralled from there.
No matter what I hope, it is very likely I have schizophrenia.
When I was on aripiprazole last year I had a lot of side effects and could barely function for months.
This time on Olanzapine I have snapped out of psychosis and feel very normal and like my old self. So at least I can be thankful for that
Just seen my consultant psychiatrist today and if I’m stable on Olanzapine for six months I will get another chance at reducing APs and coming off of medication for a second time.
I’m willing to give it a final try.
