I'm done. Word on the street in my area is that my brain damage wore off. Praise The Lord, I think they're right on the money.
Abilify reduces agitation, but the voices are largely gone, anyway. Neurontin is mind numbing, but in the PM can help me regulate my sleep schedule. Awesome.
I'm just done. Done with being checked and re-checked for mental problems. Besides, a lot of shrinks didn't think I was crazy anyway. They just thought I was a "narcissistic weakling," and they set out to destroy me. God saved me, healed me, and transformed me. Now, I don't need to the destroyers of souls anymore.
I'd seriously recommend Christianity. Or..something. Screw psychiatry. Look at the stats. They don't save anybody. They run up billion$ in bills and fry brains and destroy lives and then..its your fault. Personality disorder, mental illness, whatever. Definitely, definitely not the profession's responsibility.
Its BS. I'm done with it. All they did was destroy me for lots of my parents' money, and now I'm on disability. Awesome. I'm going to pray, get my sh*t together, and quit playing The Game with these people.

Thanks for your opinion. An interviewer asked Rev Billy Graham, with your unmovable faith in Christ why do you get checkups and see doctors? He said God made us all and gave all of us unique gifts. I see doctors because they were put here to heal us by God. Faith alone will not make you well.
Rev Graham was the real deal. I liked him and watched his broadcasts even when I didn't give a hoot about God. No one else in history could do an alter call and pull thousands of people in ever corner of the world. He only drew a $50,000 salary from the biggest ministry on the planet. Good luck.

CE does this mean you are not taking your abilify anymore? Or taking it at night only? Phillipa

Your pendulum swings once more.
Perhaps you can do well without psychiatric treatments. Perhaps not. If not, my concern is that you will end up in "the system" again.
I disagree with your current sentiments regarding psychiatry and the treatments it affords. Drugs work miracles for some people. Historically, you have been a prime example of this. You have also been an example of non-compliance and its sequalae of relapse and decompensation. It seems to me that you do better on Abilify than you do off of it. Perhaps another neuroleptic would better suit you. Latuda or Saphris?
I think you should keep a journal to document your thoughts, feelings, and behaviors so as to create a prospective life-chart that you can refer to. This would help you to establish trends and associations that link your mental state with environmental variables, including treatment with psychotropics.
Good luck with whatever you decide.

"Never a truer word spoken on this forum.
