Pdoc was saying I won’t get more than grounds s17 unless I take something. I’m asymptomatic but I may just ask for 2mg aripriprazole (abilify). Then quit it when I’m home. Abilify at 10mg caused priapism. So yeah. Kinda scary. And no more depots for me either. ---

I may just take nothing and wait for another hearing. I need to teach the nhs a lesson. Neuroleptics are NOT a safety net or preventative with psychosis. The way to avoid relapse is by avoiding stress. Majority of the people I’ve seen on psych wards were on meds over the years and STILL relapsed…due to stress. It even happened to one of my friends. She had a stressful life event and I caught her slipping. Then she ended up on the same ward as me last Xmas. ---

Hello sir, What is ‘grounds s17’? What won’t you get more of? Sorry if I’m bring a bit thick here. For what it’s worth, if the symptoms don’t urgently require it, I wouldn’t take any additional medication. But that’s just me. ---

Since the Nottingham horror show the Mental health services are being more strict. I don’t think they will let you out unmedicated these days. So you will need to adapt to it and find a medication that is most tolerable. ---
