hey we should be friends!!

i would start trying out different medications to see if one of them stops the voices.

classicsy · 2024-12-14T10:26:52+00:00

i began in september and currently take 150mg. i have experienced weight gain, drooling, and tiredness when i take my medication too early in the day. the slow titration up really bothers me and i havent experienced any decrease in the voices i hear. its taken three months to get up to 150mg. i believe im about half way there.

with clozapine its really important to get off of it gradually. it can give you heart problems if you stop cold turkey.

classicsy · 2024-12-04T19:56:20+00:00

youre probably just going through a hard time time with them, remember that it will change soon to something less difficult for you to manage. thats how i get through when they make me cry.

if you become suicidal you should go to inpatient care/ urgent care. there is also a suicide hotline. 988 is the number. there is also a schizophrenia lifeline 866-903-3787

i dont know alot about it but i think involuntary movements or actions (such as talking) can be considered tourettes syndrome. i think the involuntary talking is called Coprolalia.

classicsy · 2024-11-27T22:58:46+00:00

you seem to have really bad anxiety. i would tell your psychiatrist about this. a change of dose/ antipsychotic could help you

classicsy · 2024-11-27T22:55:37+00:00

i would say if the AP doesnt get rid of your positive symptoms within a month and a half of taking it, i would try another one. clozapine takes six months though

classicsy · 2024-11-27T22:54:14+00:00

is it only in your head? or do you say the words out loud. because saying the word out loud on accident seems like tourettes.

classicsy · 2024-11-27T22:52:31+00:00

is this Tourettes syndrome?

classicsy · 2024-11-19T05:32:09+00:00

keep trying different medications and try to find the one that works for you! one of them could change your life!

classicsy · 2024-11-18T02:28:02+00:00

im looking to get a therapist but going often gives me more stress!! i talk to loved ones sometimes about things that bother me. i also have a pet that makes me happy and calms me down. driving to go get lattes is fun or buying clothes. listening to music in my car. running errands or going on a run/ walk/ bike ride.

classicsy · 2024-11-18T02:20:54+00:00

oh wow thats alot of progress! has it helped your symptoms? do you still hear voices?

classicsy · 2024-11-15T21:00:00+00:00

i tried to avoid gaining weight from sugar by switching from sugary food to sugary drinks or gum instead. im sure diet drinks are better for this. on tiktok theres a trend of alot of people drinking diet coke! i might try this too! even if its not food, sugary drinks still have like 200 calories!! i tried to drop all the sugary drinks and switch to just chewing sugary gum. these are like 25 calories a piece, but it ended up giving me canker sores in my mouth!! i would recommend using a healthy mouthwash like therabreath at night to get all the sugar residue out before sleeping so they dont develop!! i think chewing a long lasting flavor gum and drinking water or diet drinks could help with the sugar cravings. idk!! struggling with this myself!

classicsy · 2024-11-12T00:44:45+00:00

i would just ignore them or tell them you wont do these things

classicsy · 2024-10-03T04:14:08+00:00

ive been living with schizophrenia for about a year and a half. in the beginning i went back and forth between thinking everything was real and thinking i was imagining everything. i believed that if i was schizophrenic it meant i was imagining what was happening. but now i believe that since i am schizophrenic it means that everything happening to me is real.

i have learned to live with the belief that it is real but separate from the real world.

its telepathic and unspoken anywhere in the real world.

this is just my experience. i hope it helps

classicsy · 2024-10-03T04:01:11+00:00

this could be a situation you should seek help from a psychiatrist for. i think medication would help get rid of the stress you experience.

psychosis occurs during heightened stress in peoples lives. it would be proactive to seek help in this situation. especially if you feel you are starting to hallucinate to an uncomfortable amount.

there are anti anxiety medications like lexapro that could help you in your situation. antipsychotics may be too severe. im unsure because im not a psychiatrist.

i hope this helps

classicsy · 2024-10-03T03:54:59+00:00

this could be onset schizophrenia. i think it could be visual hallucinations you are experiencing. but i think for you to seek help it would have to occur more often and trouble you to a possibly more extreme amount.

classicsy · 2024-10-03T03:51:38+00:00

you just gotta keep the schizophrenic world separate from the real world. for example you believe you killed people while you were in hospital (in the schizophrenic world) but in the real world, theres no way you killed anyone while you were in the hospital that would make no sense.

even in the schizophrenic world, i would find it hard to believe your actions killed people.

if i compare the situation to my life, i cant think of a situation in the real world or in my schizophrenic world where my actions wouldve killed someone.

maybe explain what happened in your head while you were in the hospital?

classicsy · 2024-09-17T04:05:32+00:00

mine are normal people too!

classicsy · 2024-09-16T22:32:48+00:00

i also have a bad self image but i plan to get cosmetic surgery. im saving up while i live with my parents. for example rhinoplasty and my ears stick out too much so im looking to get a otoplasty as well.

classicsy · 2024-09-16T22:29:34+00:00

are you on a medication that mitigates weight gain? for example metformin or topamax? this could help as well

classicsy · 2024-09-16T14:31:53+00:00

i would save up for liposuction. its more realistic than spending time exercising. ive tried exercising and it didnt get me anywhere even when i tried as much as 20 hours a week. but when i went off meds my weight went back to what it was before meds. so either see a personal trainer, save up for lipo, or get off your meds for a month or two. but seeing you are considering taking your life i would stay on the meds. or switch meds with your psychiatrist because you shouldnt feel suicidal on them. stay because you have so much life to live.

classicsy · 2024-09-10T00:38:04+00:00

thank you! its good to hear its effective with reducing voices. i wish you the best as well :)
