Schizophrenia is a psychiatric diagnosis that describes a mental disorder characterized by impairments in the perception of reality and by significant social dysfunction. Untreated schizophrenia is typically characterized by demonstrating disorganized thinking and experiencing delusions or auditory hallucinations.
Last night, I thought someone was being manipulative out of their fear of confronting issues, and I thought it was wrong. My girlfriend tried to correct me, but I saw her evidence as my evidence. It still makes perfect sense to me, and there's no reason to believe the other side of the story at all. I just agreed to take my medication, out of the chance that I was wrong. Since the inncident last night, I've felt completely ahedonic and apathetic, so she was probably right.
On a side note, Saphris treats negative symptoms significantly better than the go-to medication, Risperdal.

I tried Saphris and it made me very suicidal. Risperdal helped but I was on 14mg, way too high, and started lactating. I also read men can grow female breasts on it. I also stopped having my period (I know TMI) I was very groggy on it. Now I am on Clozaril, Fanapt and Haldol for my ap's....no grogginess just anhedonia and apathy.
I had anhedonia on Geodon but it went away when I got off of Geodon. thank goodness. I got suicidal on Geodon. I hope you're ok now and getting better.
