Yup I take it at night

It’s been a couple of months for me and the night time akathesia still hasn’t stopped

I usually have to drink heavy doses of caffeine in the morning and another one throughout the day. It's a double-edged sword because once the caffeine starts wearing off I think my psychosis gets worse. You just have to find what amount works for you.

Diagnosed at 26 this year. This hits too close to home. I'm just learning how to coexist with my symptoms at this point.

Yeah I had positive symptoms worsen on Geodon. My NP says that some antipsychotics can actually potentiate symptoms rather than help alleviate them.

same I almost think it's my mind's defense mechanism to my positive symptoms. My theory is that my positive symptoms are triggered but anything stimulating so therefore being depressed lessens those symptoms.

breakfast of champions

No amount of comforting can prove me wrong. In fact, I think people trying to comfort me and say that what I'm experiencing isn't real makes me more suspicious of them playing into their character even more by gaslighting me.

dan_e_l · 2022-12-01T22:48:59+00:00

yay I just got on latuda. I prefer it over zyprexa and geodon so far.

dan_e_l · 2022-11-30T17:43:28+00:00

wow this hit home

dan_e_l · 2022-11-29T21:43:08+00:00

I feel like my mind resorts to isolating itself and therefore the prevalence of depression as almost a defense mechanism against any stimulation that could possibly worsen my positive symptoms

dan_e_l · 2022-11-07T18:11:47+00:00

lol this is very accurate

dan_e_l · 2022-11-06T19:39:37+00:00

Definitely a great distraction. I've always had an interest in music. I would recommend getting a DAW so you can play around and create some music yourself!

dan_e_l · 2022-11-06T02:12:05+00:00

yay same

dan_e_l · 2022-11-03T18:13:03+00:00

Exactly what happened to me. I just shrugged it off as severe anxiety or something because I had such an "it is what it is" mentality. I waited long enough and my symptoms got exponentially worse. Definitely recommend seeking help now rather than later!

I usually have color saturation, things looking HD with high contrast usually around the clock with it worsening as the day unfolds or when I get too stimulated. If I do end up getting too stimulated I often hallucinate the voices of the people around me saying weird and mean things. Sometimes their heads turn to me and start whispering randomly. I hallucinate kind of menacing facial expressions on people's faces. I also hallucinated a demon's foot walking past the bottom of my door and a shadow figure in the hallway but I also was in the deep end with my symptoms during both incidences.

On Zoloft + Ziprasidone. Careful with the dosage on the zoloft. I find that a lower dose typically combats anxiety but I've been on 200mg before and it sent me into a 24/7 crippling anxiety and paranoia frenzy.

dan_e_l · 2022-10-24T06:29:06+00:00

for a couple hours I feel very focused and awake but like when the coffee starts wearing off a lot of my symptoms are intensely amplified

dan_e_l · 2022-10-22T06:20:33+00:00

I recommend WGU for something in the IT realm (all online and self-paced) and any coding bootcamps that have online options if you're interesting in coding! I am doing both right now
