Tomatheus, thanks, you always take alot of time to answer.
Well the Parnate really does brighten my mood.Maybe my flight of ideas and need to save the world were due to the stressors of changing hospitals.
What i certainly wont do anymore is diagnosing myself, even in my mind. I just tell the doctor about pleasant and unpleasant effects from what he prescribes. First time i came to the doc i really wanted those diagnoses of depression and social anxiety. Maybe i didnt assess myself correctly. Its bad enough other folks diagnose me as a lunatic, i wont do it myself ever again because thats not what i believe.
Who says that im a liar when im "psychotic"? Who is to say that voices dont exist? Who is to deem what reality really is? Isnt there an offchance that society is wrong in some ways, too?
I want to live in this society so i agree to treatment of what they deem undesirable or what is unpleasant to myself. But i dont agree to disencouragement and to pathologizing myself. Certainly antidepressants have some serious disadvantages for me even to the point of triggering "illnesses" i dont usually have. I really felt pretty ok on 300 Seroquel only. By the time we added antidepressants, i didnt feel it was enough though. Maybe i should lower my expectations a little.
