the doctors tried me on this one first, gave me tablets, the voices went away for like 3 months, then i stopped taking the tablets and the voices came back. i gained a lot of weight. so they put me on monthly injections. during covid they changed me to 5 weekly. now the medication is called aripiprazole. also i have diabetes and bad legs, like varicose ecsema on my legs. about a month or two ago they put me on medication called orlistat for weight loss, ive lost about 5 or 6KG, nearly 1Kg per week |

i suppose the reason for putting me on injections is so doctors can trace what medication im taking. cos i dont believe im actually ill, im not really ill and not really schizophrenic at all. the voice is a psychic man talking to me. nobody believes it. i tried to tell my parents, the doctors, the nurses,and you guys, im not believed. |

it's a real fucker when the psych people just tell you yr ill and the meds will sort everything. my old community psychiatric nurse said something really powerful - the voices are real for you and who's to say yr not perceiving something we can't. for me it was similar with the risperidone, totally got rid of the voices but i backslid on the booze and stopped taking my meds, this was when i was in the hostel. i'm on 4-weekly arsecheek injection of flupentixol and 15mg olanzapine daily now - virtually no voice hearing and i've genuinely just forgot a lot of my, aham, theories. time can do a lot, is all i'm saying. hope you get some relief. and well done on the weight loss! |

risperdal sux to the point where the odds are good that the new stuff will be an improvement. the once-a-month dosage deal could be about efficiency: doctors tracing if you take it costs much more than a monthly injection. however, it also saves you hassle, and, hey, usually you get nothing when they do something like this; enjoy it |

i suppose the real hold your hand event for me would be if someone i told would actually read the torah and tanakh (the talmud is quite a dry read for the most part), then read maimonides, and then read london's the times newspaper for a while. what would chill me out if someone here read those and then could explain to me why im wrong. but yeah kind of rude of me to say read all these books and then you might believe me. im not a professor handing out lectures and demands for book reports. i think wolfie bless him said there's no evidence for what im saying. im saying the evidence is torah, tanakh, talmud, maimonides, the times. |

my injections cost more than £100 a time for the taxpayer, one time a student community psychiatric nurse messed it up, £100 down the drain. bless her |

belb i cant understand everything youve been through, but im glad youre better now. we can understand each other a bit because we both hear voices in our minds. ive never had to struggle to find a place to live(yet), which would be awful for anyone to face. we're lucky to have a welfare state here that protects us a bit, it could be better but it could be worse. hope the tories will lose next year and putin breaks his neck |

why did the voices go away for 3 months do you think? do you still have them now? maybe there might be a transition period switching medications i don't know how long it takes antipsychotics to work or there might not be at all |

i dont know i still have the voice in my mind. anyone fancy a reading challenge? torah, tanakh, talmud, maimonides, the times. |
||||||||
|
|

| |||||||||
|
|
but when you were taking risperidone there were no voices right? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

|

the first time i took rispiridone, i went for a walk to the park about 30 minutes away, in the park i started to get vicious muscle spasms in my neck, like inhumane suffering in my neck. it was bloody awful. i walked home and the pain was just nasty and vicious and the ambulance came, then the pain stopped and the muscle spasms just stopped when the ambulance people got out, and the voice said the Queen had ordered my torture |

i cant remember the dates exactly, on rispiridone i was pretty much knocked out for a few months, like didnt go out much, sleeping on the sofa, just watching dvd box sets of friends(sorry marlowe, i dont like it any more i swear). i had the voices for a few months on it i think, then around christmas the voices went away for like 2 or 3 months. and i flushed the tablets down the sink because i thought they were pointless. when i told my nurse he changed me to injections and he came every month to the house. the voices came back and stayed constantly. i changed to aripiprazole because of the weight gain issues, the voices are the same. |

sorry to hear that sounds like a side effect of the drug but like you said the voices went away for 3 months then you stopped taking risperidone and they came back anyway i'm really happy that you are getting treated none of us can convince you that the voices aren't real but you should talk about them to your doctor |

yeah it sounds like it takes a while for them to work |

||||||||
|
|

| |||||||||
|
|
torah, tanakh, talmud, maimonides, the times. is there anyone here who would be willing to read these? |

so it sounds like he's missed some quality xltronic! we did the thing where moms arrange it and there's the thing where i'm hosted over there once and he was hosted over at old house once. and i was like: "cool, when are we doing that again?" and mom's answer effectively was: "we're not, because we're not jewish enough." i asked what that meant and mum laughed. --EpicMegatrax, #02629001 |

i'm worried about lewis. he contacted me on a new number, confidently jesting, "my old phone was taken by aliens into outer space" and, actually, i don't really know exactly how, but from his tone i know he's saying this as a joke, to cover up the fact that he smashed his phone -- we're probably over at least two dozen smashed phones by now -- during a dissociative episode. and we chat a bit and he's alright. but i haven't been able to get in touch with him recently and i'm worried, because he actually hasn't done that for a while and now he's done it again and not hearing from him. i wish he'd take his olanzapine |

what are the voices like, are they like indistinguishable from when someone speaks to you 'irl'? >>> torah, tanakh, talmud, maimonides, the times. London or NY? |
||||||||

|
|
tmepted to say challenge accepted, but i aint got 5 minutes let alone a year |
||||||||
|
|

| |||||||||
|
