I feel a bit alone tbh… Maybe worried too about my future…
But we really tried everything with my pdoc and she said she cant help more… That I should stop switching aps and fight the rest… Maybe I am a severe case and I am often in pain… My meds help me just to be out of my bed and be able to eat and sleep… But mentally and even physically, I am ill… But believe me, we really tried every possible med with my doc. Even she said, that I should stop taking more meds. I guess there are some things which can be helped otherwise, not only with meds…
But who else got better even though, that the meds were not a big help either for him/her too? Should I continue fighting while knowing, that the meds don’t help me much? Idk, but I really don’t believe anymore in the miracle med for my case… I just hope I don’t make a mistake, that I count on myself now. Just with a maintaining thing for the meds…
The mind is stronger the the heart so find a part of you the wants to be well and deal with it .
Who else had to fight some things from his/her sz alone? Tbh, its so hard here by moments, that the meds are not a help… My Zyprexa also smashes me very badly after it take, but only this ap makes me get up from the bed in the day without making me crazier… But after it take, it makes me crazier too yeap… In pain in fact, not a nice ‘‘crazy’’ thing… But anyway on this…
I wonder who else was very ill also even on meds? I just wonder if i’ll be enough strong to beat the rest of my sz alone?.. My pdoc says she cant help me more than this… She also said, that i’ll always suffer… But we agreed that I took too many other aps in the past too… So we stopped switching…
Who else please have to fight the biggest part of his sz alone? I just wonder if i’ll have enough straight on my own… We made the tour of the meds, they don’t help much tbh… Now I am left alone with my sz… Can I beat it alone in a way too? I take my meds, don’t get me wrong, but they are not a big help nope…
For about 2 weeks now Ive been eating no sugar and low carb diet. I have also been exercising every day walking and running. I learned that my meds would only do so much. Try not eating any carbs or sugar and eat high protein and that will help some.
Im wondering The same.
I think meds are important but i guess theres some self help technique like being mindful.
Well, IMO the meds, no matter what you take, does not take your problems away but helps you cope with the problems instead - I’ve also had issues finding something that works for me - my best advice is to engage in something soothing, like a coloring book, music, movies, anything that keeps you from listening to voices and is calming 
Hope this helps.
I went off my meds in March. My current pdoc read my file, diagnoses, other physical issues, and all reactions/allergies/failures of meds. She told me we are not going to do anything but my xanax since I am hanging on my own. I do talk every 2 weeks to a therapist, see pdoc now in Jan after seeing her earlier this month. She wants me to call if anything gets out of hand, so far there’s been a few instances of probably should called, but I am never home alone so either hubby or kids help.
I mean, i’m doing for me. I just can’t take the meds, whether physically or allergies. I’ve been on everything so if I have to go onto something, pdoc said there’s a trial for treatment resistant sz I may qualify for.
Nearly every ap I’ve tried did nothing for my auditory hallucinations. But then a few years ago I found Rexulti. It brought the voices down by about %70.
But for a year or two I couldn’t get it. Now it looks like I’ll get it again.
I guess what I’m saying is: perhaps live in the here and now without completely giving up hope.
I have regular problems with anxiety and paranoia
For me it’s about managing the illness and deal with it day by day
No antipsychotic has left me symptoms free but I keep going and hoping
