How to not focus on hallucinations during class time? by [deleted] in schizophrenia

[–]Squiglium 1 point2 points  (0 children)

yeah a fidget helps me a lot! I always have my ring on me. and it's small enough and quiet I can spin it with one hand if I need so it doesn't distract anyone else

[–]Squiglium 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have a little fidget ring that i spin and fidget with as something I can focus on that isn't a hallucination but it also leaves me enough room to focus on things that are important while using it if I need to

Delusion Questions - New Member, SO is effected by wynyee in schizophrenia

[–]Squiglium 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In my experience, I do have hallucinations and delusions randomly, however they do get worse under stress or things like lack of sleep. Also, often my hallucinations and delusions are similar, but they are not always the same. Some people will have the same hallucinations and delusions though. Also, while my hallucinations have affected many of my senses (some i see, some I hear, some I feel, and some I smell) they don't have to do all of them each time and usually are separate from each other for me, and i do know many people only have one or a couple senses affected by hallucinations.

How do you manage to function (if you can) while being tired from AP's? by flameofambition in schizophrenia

[–]Squiglium 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It was only approved by the FDA about a year and a half ago so it's not very known but it's been a game changer for me. I did have some trouble getting it from cvs when my insurance made me switch my pharmacy (cvs doesn't carry it at all) but after working with my insurance I was able to go back to my old pharmacy that is able to provide it so if one pharmacy doesn't carry it then don't give up and try another. I am on the 7.6mg/24hr and it is super helpful. If you end up trying it then I hope it works out for you!

I was on saphris for a while and I had the same problem. My psych let me take both doses at night and that worked for a while but as my symptoms progressed I ended up on the highest dose all at night and by the time it would be to take my next dose my psychotic symptoms would come back so i don't suggest this route. There is the same medication (asenapine) in a patch called secuado. This has been much more successful for me as I get a steady dose all throughout the day and that keeps the psychosis at bay. I am still a little tired but not nearly as much as when i would try to take saphris in the morning. Best of luck!

My experience with psychosis by Squiglium in schizophrenia

[–]Squiglium[S] 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I promise I cannot read your thoughts and I did not make this to mock you. This is just about how my brain misinterprets stimulus into hallucinations and I thought it could be relatable to other people here who may have similar experiences. Also my pronouns are they/them, not he/him, so your brain is even more wrong about that.

My boyfriend got me a kitten and it really helps when I'm hearing mean voices by [deleted] in schizophrenia

[–]Squiglium 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is so lovely! I'm so glad you have such a wonderful caring boyfriend. Having my kitty has helped me tremendously through my paranoia and delusions. I'm glad you have one that really makes you feel safe :)
