It was this golden period while on Zoloft and Risperidone before any side effects really started to happen where it was like I finally knew what it was like to be a normal person. I really had no symptoms at all. No anxiety or depression or hypersensitivity to stimuli, anger, intrusive thoughts, didn’t care about or focus on bizarre beliefs, no voices, no paranoia, no hallucinations, didn’t even feel (like psychic 6th sense) energy anymore. I had never known what it was like to experience life as a mentally sound person and I tasted it for a few good months there before it all fell to garbage. Very sad.
I can never go back on either of those meds because of serious health problems they caused me.

I had one day where I felt like I used to feel before the disease really kicked in. I felt normal for day. I still remember it.

What issues did they cause? I’m on that combo right now.
Flying across the country was fun. Gambling in Vegas, Reno, and Lake Tahoe was fun. When I was in Reno or Lake Tahoe with my dad years ago we got tickets to see a live show. It was a topless revue of showgirls singing and dancing. It was classy and well performed but I was freaking out because I couldn’t look at the dancers without staring so I kept looking away. I told my dad and he laughed at me and told me the dancers knew what they were doing and if someone wanted to stare at them tney expected it and didn’t mind. So I loosened up and enjoyed the how.
I’ve prayed every morning since that show for the last twenty years that I will remember that show when I’m on my deathbed.
Stabilizing enough to do all of the things I was told I couldn’t do: Job, wife, kid, happy life, etc. Schizophrenia IS very treatable for many of us these days.

This has been a big thing for me aswell.
I have had more delusions over the years that I can remember.
Delusions and paranoia but thankful the voices stopped ten years ago or so.
I have been having anxiety attacks from latuda?
That I did not have on olanzapine but latuda helps me keep better weight and helps me with other things too.
I could not handle getting off olanzapine to no meds not with latuda either.
I have started thinking some delusions I had were not real it’s what I thought was real but it wasn’t .
I do not have that about all but many.
Getting back in contact with my family is one great thing.
I was isolated and alone and would not meet them.
I want more contact with them but they are too busy and one of my closest who I always was helped by and who raised me too has not been replying me.
I only have contact with some a few times a year.
Something is something I guess.
My brothers seem to want nothing to do with me.
Probably cause of their father.
My brothers and sister were brought up in the same place with friends and family surrounded them.
They have a stability.
I sent gifts to them and they did not even thank me.
I lost friends and have none except like to believe I have friends in spirit.
Thankful for our medication!

I am sorry about your brothers ignoring u. I am also glad that wen I am well I can talk to my family again
I’m in the process of lowering my AP, 20mg every 2 months, and today I felt like I was a little kid again before I did drugs. Just really, really anxious. A bit paranoid, but more anxious. Today was a good day.
Thank you🙂
It is a huge thing to see such .
It’s two of my brothers.
Overseas .
Different parent combinations.
My other brother lives in the same country and has been good to me although we probably only speak a few times a year or less but it’s better than it was.
He is a very busy man with wife and friends and family who works very much.
I think I could turn to him if I was in crisis.
My sister seems a bit power crazed n looks down at me and disrespectful.
She thinks she knows it all but she doesn’t.
My family might be embarrassed of me.
Even my parents.
But my father said he is proud of me which surprised me.
I am a lot like him but with out a successful career and love him.
I had a delusion he molested me.
And I said it to people and he says he still loves me despite that and despite that he usually hates people who do not work etc
How can he be proud of me when I am everything he did not want.
I think I have a successful career in spirit.
And spirit friends.
I believe there is a such thing as spirit care workers.
I can even find some of my delusions that agonised me funny years later.

I’m glad your dad forgives u. It is not nice wen people hold grudges on us for our mistakes
my best experiences were when first starting or going off meds.
I took my father to see Cannery Row and he thought it was so evil that we left early and.he told the manager he shouldn’t be showing such trash
Not caring anymore/much about living in the matrix. It used to consume me.
