When I drink alcohol I have thoughts about the conspiraries I had when unwell

Does anybody else have anything else like this?

When I drink alcohol and alone I ended up ruminating about past conspiracy thoughts, i.e how my pdoc is out to get me, etc. I could be completely fine before drinking but will always end up thinking these thoughts.

Yeah first reply said it best, dont drink. If i drink more than 2 oz i get real bad. Theres a lot of bs on the internet that says alcohol can be used as an occasional treat for people with sz…but the reality is alcohol is as hard as drugs come. Im not exaggerating. alcohol will fk everything up royally, even for normal peeps. Alcohol for schizophrenics however should not be consumed ever. Its insanity in a bottle for us.

Yeah I would say drink isn’t worth it if this happens to you everytime

I can get drunk a few times, and nothing bad happens. But I know that if I continue drinking sooner or later I will mess up. Alcohol has gotten me in a lot of trouble. I don’t need it.

I don’t drink but I’m sure that alcohol would fck things up for me big time.
It would make me cycle among other things.

I just drink 1 or 2 drinks every once in a while. It doesnt seem to change much. I gave up drinking more than that. With more, I dont get paranoid, but i just feel bad. Low. Uninhibited. I dont like it. Thinking of quitting completely. I noticed lately that i longed for an alcoholic drink when i felt bad - that doesnt seem right. It isnt good for anything.

I fell off the wagon just 2 days ago. Straight up drank a quarter of vodka and just chilled out. Trying not to make it a habit again though. Before that, i gave up drinking for 2 years. I only do the hard stuff tho, i want my buzz right away.

I only got a little paranoid from it, but i slept so good

Since starting clozapine I can’t even take a sip of alcohol without being very sick
It might be the lithium

Getting drunk makes me psychotic. I’m fine with just an occasional couple tho.
