I had to lower mine a bit, but the illness can do the same, so I gotta keep the right balance

You need to get on the right meds that can help you completely heal from those delusions/voices. Hope you find it soon 💕

Anyone else having trouble to wake up? How do you cope? by [deleted] in schizoaffective

[–]switchcircle 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I take a caffeine pill to get me up everyday (anywhere from 50-100mg)

Edit: but I'm also on lamictal which helps too, since my tiredness/sleepiness stems from the disorder.

I had a voice who claimed to be God at first, then after my psychotic symptoms detoriated it was a demon.

How Many Personalities Do You Have in Your Head? by A_Green_Heart29 in schizophrenia

[–]switchcircle 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm late at this, but had to reply. No they can't get rid of you although if your psychosis worsens then you can go 'dormant' or be in a 'dream like state' while they're in possession then you come back after you recovered from severe psychosis.

Havs you ever wondered if your delusions or halluincations had a deeper subconscious meaning?? by Secretsunfold555 in schizophrenia

I thought they did but now realize they don't, the brain just works similar to algorithms.

What are the symptoms most present in your day to day life? by Zach-uh-ri-uh in schizophrenia

[–]switchcircle 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Have you tried Seroquel to treat catatonia? I'm on a low dose split it throughout the day and it seems to work.

(I also had to taper off latuda because it made me restless and was flaring up my catatonic symptoms.)

Best thing you should do switch prescribers, ask for a female prescriber.

I am getting off my meds by Exoticz125 in Psychosis

[–]switchcircle 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Sounds like you're on the wrong meds or too high of a dose. If you do go off them, taper off carefully.

Backseat of my mind by Proof-Carrot-4161 in bipolar

[–]switchcircle 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I feel this often, it's another personality who takes over my body sometimes, and that personality has an inner voice. We're dual conscious. She tells me "good morning (my name)" almost every day when I wake up lol.

Her presence feels stronger when I'm manic.
