I still have the occasional voice- but only when I think in my head, so I’ve learned not to “think” about things too much🙃
Also anytime I get a job I always think my coworkers are talking about me… which they might be or they might not be🤷♀️ It’s hard to tell with this illness…
What about you?
I always get breakthrough symptoms
Th ey have got worse with menopause
Sorry to hear that😕
Yes, I still have symptoms, but they aren’t bad.
I always have a low level of positive symptoms. Mostly voices and paranoia.
Yup,I think the fact I wasn’t on AP’s for the better part of two decades, self medicating with drugs, left a lasting impact.
I still hallucinate, still lose insight.
The meds have helped a lot to decrease the symptoms, but nothing has taken them away completely.
I’ve had breakthrough symptoms which included like yourself, thinking coworkers were talking about me. I left straight away, I had last a year and six months, and it was going fine till then.
I have the ocassional delusion now. Always have a lowered cognitive baseline now…
Dang… that sounds unpleasant…
Sorry you were unmedicated so long
Yeah I only last about a month- 3 months when I get a job. I’ve had like, 3 jobs and all of them I thought my coworkers were talking about me
Yeah. It’s surreal. I can’t help but wonder why it happens, because it’s very demoralising
No positive symptoms on meds but major negative symptoms. I used to be able to work full time on low dose Latuda for 10 months but then negative symptoms came back and I couldn’t wakeup early for work anymore and energy became low. I was prescribed Wellbutrin but it didn’t help. This was when I started using this forum back in April 2020.
When the negative symptoms started were you still using latuda? I’m thinking of switching to latuda atm.
Yes 80mg but I stopped work right after I took Wellbutrin, maybe it has to do with Wellbutrin not sure even my Dr said he doesn’t know. Dr stopped Wellbutrin but I was still not able to go to work for a few weeks later then I told the Dr to prescribe me Risperdal. Latuda gave me akathisia and nausea after taking the pill. I had insomnia at night because of the akathisia. No issues now with Risperdal other than negative symptoms.
I see. That makes me rethink nausea and akithisia is something aripiprazole gives me.
I wish I could get Vraylar but the dr said he doesn’t even know about it. Even though they do proscribe it. I can’t afford to go private health care just yet either so it’s annoying me
I’m on Abilify, but it doesn’t seem to do anything for the voices. I think it’s helping with depression though
I have symptoms every day but they are not the kind that put me in the hospital. The ones without meds do.
Been on meds 40 years. Still have some symptoms but they’re pretty manageable.
