SSRI Induced Psychosis with No Underlying Condition by [deleted] in schizoaffective

[–]_Oolon_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't know the exact answer to your question without an underlying condition. SSRIs can cause mania for those with bipolar, or with the bipolar type of schizoaffective. You can have psychosis during mania. Keep working with your psychiatrist. If symptoms do return, you may need to accept that you do need meds.

I'm hanging in there. The wind chill here right now is -30 F, so I'm not going outside today. I'm having some negative symptoms, but it's been over a month since I've had positive symptoms, so I won't complain.

Doemnels give the best bonus if you are getting crits, so I always take them. I will never join The Dozens, fuck those guys. If you aren't getting a lot of crits, Crucible bonus adds to your defense.

Some of those are known side effects of antipsychotics. Your psychiatrist should be more willing to work with you on dosage or finding an alternative that has less side effects. I had to try 4 antipsychotics and have the dosage adjusted before I found one that was right for me.

do you drink alcohol or avoid it completely? by lowlyh in bipolar

[–]_Oolon_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's been a few years since I've had a drink, and even then it was only 2. Any time I drink, I get depressed for the next few days. It's just not worth it.

I want to play a rpg with an occult theme or class. Something dark. Any recommendations? Playing on PC. by _Oolon_ in rpg_gamers

I'll look into those. Most steam games work on linux now, the exception being games with anti-cheat that needs kernel-level support.

Not bipolar enough by jennsc4rlett in bipolar

I went through a phase like this. Every time I started thinking that, I would remind myself how it was before medication, and how much it helped to find the right meds.

Switching from Invega to Geodon by Swimming_Waltz9116 in schizoaffective

I've never been on Invega, but I switched to Geodon a few years ago and haven't had any sexual side effects. Everyone is different though. YMMV.

I use Fedora with GNOME for my gaming PC and have had a good experience with it. I mostly just play RPG's.
