i was told i was schizophrenic when i was 16. went through the meds and hospitals til i was 22. i was on resperdol, cojention, akeniton. my spelling may not be perfect lol but im sure yal know what i mean. i quit all my meds cold turkey like. had a breakdown, let me explain. it felt like something was leaving me clues to other clues and if i figured it out it would just be another clue to some other clue to something. i found myself tryin to fit ideas together. i got nervous cause what if i figured out what they where tryin to tell me. i know it makes no sence. now when i think back on it i see myself as crazy but at that time i really thought something was tryin to tell me something. im 29 now married with 2 kids and have a good job. i have not had any thoughts like i did when i was younger at all the past 7 years. my worry is could i relapse and if i did how would my family deal with it. my wife has no idea what i went though as a teen. i wanna keep it that way. maybe thats why i stay home alot and try to keep things simple. but for the truth though was i having a episode, will it come round again. or was the meds i was on the reason causeing my search for something. my friend told me this and its why i quite my meds. if the doc is wrong and i keep taking meds for schizophrenia it may make me schophrenic. just as people with adhd, it a normal person takes adderall it may make them have symtoms of adhd.
