Give it some time, my initial panic attacks had to do with the paranoia. Eventually they faded and now I only have mild anxiety issues. The meds work, we just have to give them time.

i couldnt handle the leponex anymore. i was really weak and afraid. i am almost sure its it…maybe i make a mistake to switch on haldol but my doc says that…probably it will help me :slight_smile:

It’s the disease… It feels like that sometimes. I had the feeling I could feel my neurons dying and my head hurt. It will pass, don’t worry

I think fatigue is worse than sedation.

Latuda is great for paranoia. It helps the mind filter â– â– â– â– â– â–  up perceptions.

@Anna1 After getting some clarification on public mental health treatment practices in Eastern Europe from @Sarad , I think I understand what is going on and what you’re up against.

Do you have family there in Bulgaria? Are any of them fairly sophisticated, educated and/or trustworthy? Someone who can understand some medical complexities?

If so, you may benefit from explaining to them that you need to get to a private psychopharmacologist who will properly assess you and get you on the best meds for you, not the meds the PHS there is using because they are inexpensive.

If you need help with this explaining, post back to me or PM me.

I like seroquel. Start at 50mg, cut into pieces and take it at night. Nothing stops the voices except going to sleep so best I can do taking seroquel. Insomnia is hell hearing the voices…

I’ve been on Haldol before. For me, it was a real bummer. I hated it. I did talk to one guy who liked Haldol. I think most people don’t care for this drug. You can try it and see how it affects you. You might be one of the few who thrive on it.
