Its the second time in 3 months ive asked for my jab early. Keep having breakthrough symptoms before its due cos im getting so damn paranoid lately. Luckily they listen to me and had it four days early. Thinking about asking for it to be adjusted or better still every three weeks. Im just not enjoying life at the moment - i seem to flit from one mini paranoid crisis to another. Not seeing the Pdoc till the 26th Feb - but i want my bloody dose increased!!!
I might add also that im a drinker - 8-9 pints strong cider a day -
and been told it does affect the meds. Slowly cutting down but ive just quit the weed for 2 months now - so cant do it all at once!
Just venting i suppose - but ive had a really shitty paranoid couple of weeks and want to feel normal again…
Yeah im gonna ask them to adjust it! They must know ive got worse after all - cos i keep phoning them up every day twice a day - bloody annoying them with my paranoid delusions. They should know when they dont hear from me im well - but ive done nothing but ring them latetly!
Mine wears off about 5 days before. I’m due mine Thursday so right now I am getting breakthrough.
This happens my nurse said.
She said you/I can have tablet’s in xepilon/paliperidone to tie me over for those 5 days at end of each month. Perhaps that could be something you can try?
I didn’t want to go for it because I hate taking pills so I wrote down in a journal the thoughts I have and ways to combat them and that it’s normal that at the end of the month this is how I’m going to feel so I can look at it during this period to remind myself it’s just the illness not reality. It helps a bit. But it’s still hard to be honest I just have to plough through.
It’s not unusual for this to happen and you aren’t alone.
