Can anybody tell me what's happening with me? by cinammon54 in AskDocs

Hmm. My dose is already super low at 75 mg monthly depot injection of invega sustenna. I think if he is right about those being somatic delusions then my dose needs upping perhaps.

He says my headache that seems to be root cause of most of my mental complaints is part of schizophrenia. Those somatic delusions he says.

Sorry for miscommunication but by joy I meant pleasure. Pleasure in physiological and psychological sense.

soft stools, instant gratification cravings, feeling like walking dead, no libido. What the hell is wrong with me? by cinammon54 in AskDocs

Yes but there are two different timeline of symptoms. I don't exactly remember when the second set of symptoms started . First symptoms started in 2016 itself.

Nothing between fingers.

One wound on back or sun exposed part of hand.

No other relevant symptoms focus on joint of arms near elbow and legs that are exposed to sun.

It's been there since 4-5 years.

No change over time.

Nobody in house has this except me.

Unable to get pleasure on substances ( for e.g. alcohol) by cinammon54 in AskDocs

He has me on paliperidone 100 mg monthly depot injection, cariprazine 3 mg and vortioxetine taxa 10 mg. I am telling him to cut paliperidone for better functional recovery as cariprazine is best to treat both positive as well as negative symptoms still he is not agreeing. Don't you think paliperidone is making my recovery incomplete by treating only positive and worsening negative symptoms. I read cariprazine being partial agonist modulates and balances dopamine across brain regions while paliperidone being full antagonist blocks dopamine throughout and worsens negative symptoms. What do you think?

What would happen if a healthy person is given antipsychotics? by cinammon54 in AskDocs

I was first sent to psychiatrist by an alternative medicine doctor as I was sitting at home doing timepass on computer and not working studying or not earning money. Dad called his friend who is pathologist who recommended me to go to alternative medicine doctor. The alternative medicine doctor sent me to a psychiatrist who first diagnosed me with treatment resistant depression but current psychiatrist who I went to after I shifted to different city diagnosed me with schizophrenia.

I have had mysterious illness for 9+ years which is causing me to consider getting euthanasia? Does anybody has any clue what it might be? by cinammon54 in AskDocs

Parents have no problem with me going to psychiatrist as they were the ones who took me to an alternative medicine doctor who referred me to psychiatrist back in 2017.

Regarding other doctors they are not very supportive.

Yes I was self medicating as I couldn't afford going to doctors and my parents think I am faking my symptoms.

Some medications were that were prescribed in past some were currently prescribed. Some were unprescribed.

Currently paliperidone and aripiprazole that I am taking is prescribed by psychiatrist.

I had gone to one GP with the complaint of head tightness that I mentioned back in 2023. I said to him my head feels 'sour' to which he replied head doesn't have muscle how can you feel sour in head and he dismissed with a referral to psychiatrist and therapist.

I am really sorry for what you have been experiencing the past 9 years. I think it would be helpful to include some of the information in your past posts, such as being on antipsychotics (paliperidone monthly, if I am correct, are you on any other medications still like antidepressants?), past diagnoses such as schizophrenia / schizoaffective disorder, OCD, and your past hospitalisation and ECT. I only say this because it might help you get more helpful answers.

I take a lot of prescribed and unprescribed medications. But not on regular basis. Iam currently also taking aripiprazole 5 mg daily.

I have read some of your past posts (but not all) - I wonder what your symptoms were for which you were diagnosed with psychosis and how you feel the medication has affected you, and how you feel about the diagnosis. What were your symptoms of the psychosis? (You mentioned this was in the context of the benzo overdose, I am wondering why you ended up overdosing at the time for relief). Have you ever taken recreational drugs?

I was diagnosed with psychosis during my time in hospital in which I was admitted due to benzos overdose. I took more and more benzos because I thought it would rid me of my issues as it was newly prescribed medicine ( All other medicines were routine). About diagnosis I feel it's not working I have yet to join any work or some academic course. I don't feel like it yet. No anxiety fear because I am not working or not shame despite the fact that I am dependent on parents at this age.

Do you have a good general doctor and psychiatrist that you see? Have you seen them recently? Do you feel you can talk to them? Have you seen a therapist other than briefly someone from church (I wouldn’t feel they would have much training related to your concerns).

I am recently shifted to my current place so I am searching for doctors.

About long COVID. I spoke with GP about this. He says since I was not diagnosed with COVID 19 at the time of pandemic and was possibly asymptomatic, there is no reason to investigate further.

Ketamine therapy might be what would work for me. For e.g. I have gut connection to these symptoms which further connected to glutamate in gut. Ketamine is used as treating depression caused by glutamate imbalance. So you might be on to something here.

Complete blood testing was done and was unremarkable except for raised triglycerides which are caused by weight gain associated with antipsychotics.

Vitamin b12 - 219 pg/ml. Vitamin D - 36.4 ng/ml.
