I feel like not taking my meds. Yesterday took em at 9pm now its 11:10pm and the more I wait to take them the better I feel. Med lvl in the blood is decreasing. Feeling euphoric. I don’t want zombie pills but I know that after a few months I will be crazy without them…
Psychosis makes me feel high, seriously lol
The only medicine that made me feel like a zombie was Seroquel.
My psychosis felt like a drug trip as well. Parts of it were wacky and fun. Life’s a lot more boring now that I am not psychotic. Like as in uneventful.
So now on Zyprexa you’re as good as before sz and as good as without meds?
Psychosis is addictive lol
Mostly. I tend to rock back and forth a little when I stand still too long, and I’ve gained 15 pounds, but that’s all.
I’m not 100% to where I was before getting sick because I still hear voices. They’re friendly and mostly harmless but they are still rather distracting some days.
Before sz I was top of my class in school and university. Sz made me dumb.
Idk if its the meds making me dumb.
Yeah I went from a 3.5 average to flunking several classes a few years before my hallucinations started. I don’t think I’ll ever be able to juggle 5 classes with Bs and As any more. I don’t blame the medicine though, I think it’s just damage from the psychotic break. I’m hoping I can still heal over time even if it’s slow.
I’m going to try to sign up for a Spanish class soon, unless I lose my nerve. I used to be fluent but lost it due to rarely speaking it.
dont risk it. stopping meds is not worth the pain of relapsing and the damage it causes to life and mind. i stopped meds for a few days but realized it is a bad idea and not worth it
I fear its that too. Sucks.
Idk why I feel good whenever I stop my meds.
its the honeymoon phase. you feel good because the effects of the meds are wearing off but brain has not adjusted yet to being off them. after that there is a big chance of relapse and becoming more resistant to treatment
I wonder whats better. Being off meds and be always in mental hospital or be on meds outside mental hospital feeling like crap 24/7.
Taking meds is a punishment for nothing.
Maybe for our genetic defects.
I switched meds 6 times to escape weight gain and being a zombie as side effects
I am a zombie on all meds. Doses and meds that dont make me a full zombie make me psychotic. Its all about this dopamine blockage and shitty body chemistry. The more dopamine the less the negative symptoms and the more the positive symptoms. I experimented this with a dopamine supplement too, not only meds.
Do you drink alcohol by any means?
I like my meds they are helping my schizophrenia
@Aziz ,did you try Trilafon?I ordered a box once from Germany (and it’s still not in our health care system),and it was ok.
I’ve tried almost all meds except Abilify (long term),and still can’t settle down.
All drugs that dont zombify me make me manic.
