I’m feeling so bad. I’m on two antipsychotics but all I can do is hear my friend talking in my head… that and my body has doubled in size due to overeating. I’ve already had three Easter eggs. I feel ashamed. I don’t know if I can tolerate any more antipsychotics. Schizophrenia is so depressing…

Do you hear your friend talking in your head all the time? Would wearing headphones and listening to music help? Do you have any hobbies?
There’s no reason to feel shame. Be kind and compassionate toward yourself.

Yes, usually I hear my friend talking about me non stop…. I like walking and gardening! I also try to look after my health but unsuccessfully! I’m seeing my psychiatric nurse today!

That sucks about the voices you hear. Must be stressful as hell. Ive only gone through a couple of periods on life where I had voices. My psychotic stuff was mainly mania and delusions and paranoia.
Im also on a couple or antipsychotics at the moment. And an antidepressant. So I feel you there!
All the best Mouse1977.

I got to that point @Mouse1977 with overeating and feeling like trash. Took years before I finally dragged myself to the gym. 2 months later I feel better for it. Consider it, at some point. Its the hardest thing in the world BUT you’ll feel better.

Mouse you know sometimes 3 antipsychotics aren’t that bad. You see I was on my injection and Seroquel only so I talked to my doctor and got added 200 mg Solian for negative- symptoms. This works at the - sign and just as well on the + signs.
So now I take Clopixol and Seroquel and Solian (Amisulpride)
Next time I’ll ask my doc tó lower Seroquel to the minimum of 300 mg Seroquel XR.

Thanks for your message. I’m on 200mg of zuclopenthixol and only 150mg of Seroquel. After seeing my psychiatric nurse today I may go up to 300mg of Seroquel but I will have to see. Hopefully this will make a big difference!

We are almost on the same combi. I’m on Clopixol depot 400 mg every 3 weeks and 400 mg Seroquel daily. And then I got the addition of 200 mg Amisulpride last week. And I find that the Amisulpride works very weak for positive and negative symptoms. And compared to Clopixol and Seroquel Amisulpride is less sedating.
So by adding one antipsychotics you can avoid tó worsen your side effects.

Not weak I mean well.

The zuclopenthixol makes me shake at higher doses but is effective so that’s a shame…
