Last September I was involuntarly hospitalized because I was so messed up (major depression with psychosis)......Actually almost every fall for the past three years I have some kind of episode, my goal is to make it through this fall without an episode...lol....

Anyway I was in the hospital for about a week but I had symptoms a week before I ended up there, I didn't start feeling even remotely right again until a week after I got out of the hospital. I still had some symptoms of paranoia and delusions but not near as bad. Probably I would say the end of october is when my head was about right again. I still suffer from depression though......

I was psychotic for about a week or so before I was taken to the hospital. While I was in the hospital I was taking 30mg of Celexa and risperdal. I was able to leave the hospital because I totally lied saying that I was not paranoid, etc. Even though I was completely paranoid of the hospital and still hearing voices, but when I got out of the hospital that day I felt better because one of my delusions was proven wrong because I thought I was going to death row when leaving the hospital, which obviously did not happen. However, I still had some symptoms. The Celexa was ok for about a week but then it made me suicidal, and the risperdal was not so nice to me ethier. So, I had to switch to Lexapro and Seroquel, getting used to those medications was no fun, my psychosis was replaced with anxiety and always thought I was gonna die. Once the new meds kicked in just right which was about a week or two, I felt better. Still a little depressed....but not hallucinating, delusional, voices, etc......

hugs and feel free to pm me......
