I thought being medicated would make me feel better but it hasnt I;ve been letting it settle for the three days like the doctor told me to and that didnt work ( as usual ) I'm giving it more time but I have no idea ihow much is too much at this point ..
I've been extremely watchful ; when I'm turned around back facing everyone else I watch because I'm scared that they will sneak up and hurt me or kill me.
My hallucinations have come back but they seem worse I hope that the pills will get better maybe with a higher dosage but I'm not sure
On monday I may have to walk to another doctors appointment but to see the specialist in schizophrenia my doctor has been dying for me to see so hopefully he/she has a better idea of what can be done.

It takes time for the meds to get right but as has been said in most cases you are just fighting yourself it's all in your head. So some lifestyles have to be changed to grow more and overcome your illness. Talking therapy helps a lot in this overcoming past issues helps us move forward and getting the support of qualified people to move outside of our comfit zones we have created that have created all the problems in the first place...

I will definitely stick with therapy all year it might just be the way my current pdoc told me she cant handle me anymore so maybe my mind just thinks its over

Might be an idea to find a new one there are some really good ones around.You really do notice the difference in your treatments and recovery when you find a good Pdoc or tdoc who really do care about you.

I know it's all frustrating and the thought of just giving up on the only help for us is a bunch of people who think we are all lost causes. But is worth the effort to find the right help and I know you are worth it

Thanks max
I'm going to a new doctor on monday ! I need the help and its an clinical intake for now but they should be able to fit me in with whats been going on ..

Thanks for the enthusiasm because it is really hard to not give up at this point but I will try and be optimistic and persistent with care

I know we are a very small board here but your welcome to just vent your frustration out on the forum we do understand and have been there done that or going through it. I'm kind of getting use to you and would like you stick around more and if more people start staying we can build this board up to a community you can't believe the support you get from them on DS.
