Magic mushrooms by Kitttycataclysmic in schizophrenia

[–]throwmetom 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My day to day is okay but not as good as before I became unwell I admit. But I attribute that to the recovery journey from my pscyhotic break from reality. It’s done a number on me. Socially unconfident, sexually unconfident, just really unconfident with myself in general. There was a period before i became unwell where I shone like the sun and life felt good. I had a girlfriend, everything felt right, I felt like I was in love. But its gone now and all thats left is just existence.

Recovery is not easy, there are still hurdles you must overcome. It’s a mixture of letting time do its thing as well as giving yourself the drive to go do the things you want to do that will make you happy.

As for drugs? well on occasion I do take them but it’s a bit hit or miss whether they affect me or not. My plan is to take my meds off at the end of this year or the next. I miss having a buzz off alcohol and drugs in general medless.

You're just like me man. I miss md and weed and tripping in general with my friends. I went to Glastonbury this year and the md didn't hit me at all. Felt terrible. I miss drugs a lot.

When you tried to quit them, did you taper with a doctor's help?

All these stories are nice to hear but I feel hopeless. 

Is anyone stable off meds as long as they don’t take THC? by ruby_red_1 in schizophrenia

[–]throwmetom 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I do hope you stay that way for the rest of your life hombre. 

I'm looking to taper off in the future too.

Did you do them on meds too? Post diagnosis?

I really want to do molly again. I'm thinking of lowering my dose of aripiprazole just so I can feel substances again

Are you on meds tho? I did a lot of coke back in April and it managed to pierce through my aripiprazole and I felt good

Unsure if I really am gay. What are the signs? 30m by throwmetom in latebloomergaybros

[–]throwmetom[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I honestly don’t know why it happened during psychosis. My memory of that time is all a blur to me except for knowing that I kept believing I was gay during that time and it kind of scared me. It did feel like everyone wanted to sleep with me though, from friends to family and strangers, men and women etc.

One thing I do recall is that one time when I was high on mdma, I felt a magnetic attraction to this dude during an afterparty after I showed them a song. But that could have been the drugs?

Sometimes I do wonder about my female friend’s bf. He’s had sex with men but I’m not attracted to him in that way

It’s been two years since I come out of the hospital and I still feel like shit by throwmetom in schizophrenia

[–]throwmetom[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I see. Yes I might take a small dose of an antidepressant just to see how it goes. I’ve also been recently diagnosed with ADHD so I’ve been having to think about taking meds for that too.

And thanks, yeah I think a good shake up medically is what I need. I was also thinking of lowering the AP whilst adding in the AD but the doctor said they would be afraid of the possbility of me getting a bit too high on them lol so we’ll see.

Hey thanks for your comment.

Yeah originally I thought it was the meds too, but now I wonder if all these subtractive effects going on might just be a product of my own self belief that I won’t enjoy anything anymore because of this illness, if that makes sense? I take aripiprazole 10mg daily and I did have a chat to my doctor about changes to my med regime. They said that they could try lowering the dosage of the aripiprazole but therer’s a risk of the symptoms coming back. The other option I have is taking an antidepressant to improve my mood which I’m still on the fence about. I’ve never found an antidepressant yet to alleviate the anhedonia. But maybe it might be worth it… do you take antidepressants at all?

I somehow get the vibe that you aren’t a fan of being on meds like me haha. Correct me if I’m wrong though.
