Have you ever tried?
Maybe have a conversation with your parents about it?
Edit: I didn’t mean that to sound flippant. I just meant that I didn’t know if you don’t have access, or if you never managed money, so you don’t know how (no shame in that!! Money is hard.)
You know, even if you have negative symptoms you can choose options which benefit you such as healthier options like quit vaping and take nicotine gum instead, or eating lower calories per 100g things like instant noodles instead of chips.
That’s what I did on risperidone 6mg when I just felt like not doing anything, though I am still able to get out of bed.
You can choose to live a healthier life to you will live long enough until something that fixes you comes out from the progress of science
But just blaming everything on the unfairness of life is just… Life is unfair regardless, I am born into poverty with janitors as my parents and I had Psychosis before, it doesn’t mean I should give up. Success is preparation meets opportunity
Are you completely back to normal now after being off of aps for so long now?
You aren’t going to live a life with meaning unless you give it meaning. You are going to have to put some goals in your life that you want to achieve or you won’t ever get out of bed.
Give rexulti a go. You were previously prescribed it and never tried it.
I stopped meds from 2014-2016. While I wasn’t back to presz self, I had more energy and lived on my own.
My cognition was still bad without meds.

Do you prefer to be independent or dependent. Do you have the option and capable of living on your own? Do you want this?
Or is there some legal medical reason you need or want your parents to take care of everything.
Yes its the meds. Off meds I lived on my own.
I’m living on my own and working full time now. I feel much better being on a low dose… even when I was off of medication for five months I wouldn’t say I was completely my old self but very close to it.
Psychosis changes us all I suppose. Shame it had to happen to all of us.
@anon67051439 I lived with my mom a year last year. She drove me nuts. I love her but I am not alive or living for her. I eventually just ignored her. But I had control of my own money, i threw away her cooking cause it was gross and ate out. I moved out and am much happier. I’m on lots of meds which helps.
My cognition isn’t to bad, but not what it was. I’m getting by with it. But I wouldn’t say I’m intellectual like I was before
I used to have terrible negatives for about eight years. Used to spend 23 hours a day in bed. Now I’m learning to drive and have got a job. Enjoying life. Maybe you’ll get better.
Get a different doctor and a new plan with some other medication. Clearly you are not happy about your situation. I’m pretty sure you would be better off on something else.
And don’t be afraid of feeling, even if it’s anger. Feeling is being alive. I know it’s scary to feel after not feeling for so long. But you will get used to feeling. Feelings can be controlled, they are not the enemy. Being angry does not mean there is something wrong with you. Half the world is probably angry about something every day.
Its getting me into trouble with my family, etc
Still a life, even if no:t the most super.
Wym back to normal,I am not experiencing symptoms of psychosis or side effects if that’s what you are asking
That’s brilliant, so there is hope to recover! I know I’ve asked before but forgot the answer…. Is this your first time off the medication or have you relapsed before?
I am off medicine twice,this is my third time and it lasted more than 2 years without relapse,I did stay on medicine for 3 years before went off this time
I forgot. Are you taking an ad? You sound like you really need to find one that works for you.
