>what kind of therapy are you going through?
I've never really asked what kind of therapy we are doing. lol. It's a talk therapy, not a specific orientation, I don't think. I may ask her to just clarify if there is a specific name to what we are doing.
>i was seeing psychologist but i dunno if it was working. its not like they can talk you out of your misery. some stuff might help a little for the duration that they're talking to you then once you leave the office and if your still feeling crappy > you go right back to square 1 again. that's my experience.My therapist is a psychologist. Well, for me it seems to be working, though I do know and have felt it doesn't seem to work fast enough. At the beginning I thought it would or should work faster than it seems to be doing. It takes time to see lasting results and so why it may feel like you are at square one again. I know many times I would end up feeling worse or feeling like I am not getting any where before I actually felt some sense of 'better' or that certain issues were resolving.
>> are you tapering off all your antipsychotics? or just zyprexa? lucky you if you you're tapering off all of them. hang in there and watch out for the reoccuring symptoms from med discontinuation.
I am just on the Zyprexa. Yes, from my previous experiences, I know about the recurring symptoms. We are gradually lowering the dose so hopefully that won't happen, versus me just deciding to go off them.
Tks and you take care too - I hope any new therapy you try will help. It can help given the right exchange and with time.
