Hi bots,
Following the advice of my pychologist saying that she probably not qualified in dealing alone with me, I had an appointment with the psychiatrist.
She said that I'm probably schizophrenic and that I should take medication.
Can the symptoms of schizophrenia be attributed to another illness?
In the enventuality that I really am shizophrenic, should I take the pills that I will get prescribed or are those a form of medicamental lobotomia?
Does any of you have any stories, feelings or general advice about this?
Thanks
Hey didn't that guy commit suicide according to Fox News?
I am diagnosed paranoid schizophrenic. The meds didn't really work on me. I don't think they lobotomize you. When I was in mental hospital a lot of people were talking meds for schizo and they seemed normal.
I took invega sustenna and ssris because i was diagnosed schizophrenic and they made me feel terrible and suicidal when I hadn't been before. I would advise against it unless you get put in the ward in which case you'll get out a lot quicker if you don't "refuse medication"

Are you still taking those?
Any improvement on life in general caused by the usage?

Good advice about the ward, I'll keep that in mind for this eventuality. What does it take to be put here?
Thank for the feedback guys

you can be put in there for almost anything these days, a lot of people in there were normal, it helps to stay on the good side of people you know

I think CNN touched up on it too.

I am not taking them anymore, because they didn't help. As soon as I went back to school I thought everyone was watching me.
No improvements really. In mental ward they helped me reduce the amount of guilt I feel towards my own existence, but I am still fucked up.

I was implying it wasn't suicide. 10 minutes of looking into it would clear it up for most people, but they can't be bothered.
