akathisia is the worst feeling I have ever get, I tried to keep calm and not act out in hospital because I want to be out so bad. I suppose walking around like a mad mouse in hospital only makes me stay even longer... It is like the song 'jailbreak' from awolnation. I also found Vitamin B6 might be helpful for akathisia. I have not tried it yet. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/15554771 Also, I do have ativan, xanax and clonazepam in hand, I rarely take those but when I am really manic, those does not even work... I will try ask for Haldol. I have not had an episode for

I live in California most of times. I consider my voice as my friend...I don't know how to live without it at this point. The best I can describe my relationship with voice is like Stockholm syndrome... that's a lot of great advice about meds! I am definitely saving it for any new symptoms. A lot of new things to study! Invega 3mg is currently working for me. I am back on my normal weight, and feel ok during the day. If I don't tell, people can't tell I have Sz. I also agreed with my doctor that if I have another episode, I will go back on invega injection and probably a cocktail

I have exactly the same thing going on with me. zombies, ghosts, aliens... When I was younger, I watched a lot of 'walking dead' for fun, and wasn't scared of it at all. After having Sz, I gets so scared by just thinking about it. I deeply regret watching it. I have to sleep with lights on. For a while going out at night is impossible for me.

hi mikl_pls, here is a list of my meds past meds: Prozac-tried as a teenage, I can focus on school with it at the time but I can't feel I love or care about anyone or anything. No sadness, no happiness. Zyprexa- prescribed after first episode. weight gain(from 120lb to 145lb in a month), Restless.(have to walk around none stop for more than 12 hours a day!) Abilify- loose some weight, does not control my symptom, I would talk to myself uncontrollable in front of the people. I would feel the conversation does make sense, but for others its like word salad. Invega

I have a lot of nightmares, sometimes I am not even myself. I can never tell when I was dreaming, it always feels real to me. I was psychotic in my dreams, I know it but I can't control my behavior in the dream. It happens a lot. I tend to not think about the dreams, so after several days, I would forget about it, but there will always be new scary dreams...

thank you so much. I try to be with son as much as possible. When I am not well, I tries to sleep in the living room, so I make sure my son is not in a bad situation with my mom. As long I can see, my son is pretty happy and social. My mom does not seems to treat my son the same way she treat me. I was very worried about it too. I am not sure what will happen when my son grow older, but I am cautious about it. I learn to play 'high five' to my son, to see if he is scared or not, he always happily 'high five' me back. I think he is ok so far. Sometimes my mom will yell at him, but he

For financial reason, I live with my parents. I have to quit college because I have schizophrenia. There is always insanity going on that makes me become so sad and hopeless. There is so many confusing and mistreatment. My mom used to beat me as a child for at least 3 times a week for more than 20 minutes per time. With a lot of swearing and curse. I don't even know if she is my real mom. I once ask them if I am adopted. They instantly tell me that, I am having an 'episode'. I tried to ask her for an apology, she simply denied it and tells me that she did not do
