Anyone have schizophrenia? (curious)

you missed the point or i didn't explain myself well . i do suffer those side effects you have mentioned for those psyc meds i would rather have these as i can hold down my buisness, have a house,stay out of hospital etc hearing voices etc is horrible

i just can't explain how bad it can get do you suffer from this problem
hearing voices and seeing stuff is terrifying

i also take meds for a physical disease. these meds will kill me, yet having an extra 10 years. now i am going into multiple organ failure, chronic pain and faituge and extra health problems if i stop taking the drugs i die, if i take them
i die this is the reason i have a living will

and if this was you, you would kill yourself, but if you were so againsdt the meds
would you take them in the first place? are you mentally ill?

 

I have depression and anxiety plus physical health problems. But I'm getting on with my life, and rhodiola rosea with 5-HTP is excellent for depression, it's working for me. I'd never take antipsychotics, and would only take antidepressants short term. Natural herbs and supplements have less side effects and work better.

 

Your never alone with a schizophrenic.

 

your never alone even with 'normal' people... they just forgot...

 

One of my meds is an antipsychotic. I'm normal, I'm happy, and I don't move by myself... That's not a common side effect... Involuntary movement is usually a serious syndrome that should be treated as soon as it's found...

I have some natural twitches... I've always had tics, they just got a slight bit worse on my meds, not enough to bother me.

 

And today apparently atypical-antipychotics are a lot safer (they cause diabetes) and tramaol and buprenorphine (painkillers) are non-addictive... all BS of course. :bs:

 

I dunno about anybody else, and I'm too young to have experienced a lot of things, but I've been on my meds for two years, no probs...

and I'm quite far from shooting blanks... Waaaaaaaaaaay far from that...
I'm packing a 20mm cannon there. I just wish it was a bit bigger...
Not the thread for that discussion though...

I will say this. Seroquel is the devil for most people. I didn't like it. I slept fine on it, but my brain was kind of absent.

IMO, some anti-psychotic meds are alright, like mine. But, the ones that numb your mind should only be prescribed if somebody is literally a threat to society. (i.e. totally raving mad.) I saw a show on tv a while back, some guy had schizophrenia, and heard voices telling him to kil people. They interviewed him in jail, and he said he'll basically just keep killing people until they either kill him or he dies. His entire purpose in life is being a serial killer, and he wants to be the best there is. (twisted) If you're that messed up, you should be numbed out. Otherwise, being numbed out isn't cool.

I still haven't had any real tremors on my meds. When I get really stressed or get in a panic, yeah, but that goes with the anxiety attacks.

 

Nice...

dysfunction for me is a function
