I've been on my pills for a long time now,
without them I hallucinate(maybe) and hear
things(maybe), the whole lot of the
schizophrenic spectrum, it sucks without
them, however, a new sickening problem has
arisen. My brain is beginning to swell,
so much that it is painful and I have
trouble doing things. My psychiatrist is
apparently not obligated or maybe not even
aloud to be honest with me about what my
pills are doing and could do to me,
basically they made me sick and he can't
help me with it, he says "maybe you should
go to a doctor", as I think "the pills are
making my brain swell". I know that I
should keep taking them but it would help
alot if this anusface was honest with me
about what they are doing. I know that if
I go to the doctor they won't be able to
help, what could they do when the
medication I have to take is what's making
me sick, and I know that they know about
the pills and what they do to your health
sometimes.
Ya know, sometimes, life isn't worth it
and it should end, if it gets so painful
what is the point of continuing it.
P.S. If you ever meet a schizophrenic that
acts weird, It has alot to do with the bad
things that the pills are doing to their
brain and not the illness.
P.P.S. I want revenge.

Oh that's no good.
Of course your psychiatrist should be
honest with you! It is pretty well known
that these medications can have nasty side
effects, and if he's not listening to you
about them and helping you, you should
seek the opinion of another psychiatrist.
On the other hand, maybe he is being
honest and you should go to the doctor?
Are you absolutely sure that there is not
another reason you are feeling the way you
are?
If you really truly think your doctor
isn't being honest with your or not
listening to you, you should find another.
But yes, keep taking your medication in
the meantime or you might experience even
worse effects.

I Forgot to Mention This........... Posted: 11-28-07 18:23pm
I will soon have no place to live. My
family cannot take care of me for numerous
horrible reasons, especially my horrible
mother, my brother wants to but he is with
a horrible girl who is very cruel and
unintelligent, kind've like the wicked
stepmothers in cindarella, and let's face
it, sex is more fun than taking care of a
schizophrenic relative. I'm going to try
and get into a group home but I don't know
how, this swelling affects everything. I
live with my bro right now, but the lease
is almost up and I have to leave, I can't
stay where I am at so I have to leave the
state. When I get where I am going I
won't have a place to stay and It isn't a
sure thing that I will be able to get into
a group home.
And holy freaking crap, when I first
became ill I was placed in the group home
in which I now need to be, except at the
time my brain wasn't swelling and I truly
didn't need to be there because the pills
were helping immensely.
What the hell am I supposed to do, I
wasn't aware that this was a third world
country also.

Do go to the doctor with the swelling,
although you're right, the psychiatrist
should be the one doing the changes. If
that doesn't work it would be good to
change psychiatrists or demand a change in
medication. Definitely try to get into a
group home, I don't know how to do that
but you've got to. Keep us posted.
