Hi all, this might turn into a bit of a long passage but I hope someone finds it interesting...lol..and can give me some insight... I've been on effexor and risperdal for abt 9 weeks now I suffer with depression with psychotic symptoms. My psychosises usually consists of becoming spaced out and dissociating, I have like characters I turn into but its not DID because I remember (though sometimes blurry) what I do. I had been doing fine for about 4 weeks, fell into depression again but came out of it. Well last weekend I did something very strange; I got into a total strangers mans car for a lift and even met him for lunch two days later. I had no interest in him whatso ever but I believe I relapsed and turned into one of my characters who is very messed up. I even dressed differently. He's called me persistently and wants to see me again but now that I'm back to normal I got frightened and made up a lie that my ex and I got back together and I want nothing to do with him. He accepted. How not-so-normal is this? I mean I put myself at risk and I do believe I know what the trigger was even as my mum has a history of prostitution and still is one and i had heard something very bad about her recently before this happened. Why did I do this risky thing and get into an iranian's car (nothing against iranians) and put myself at risk like that. ANYTHING could have happened! Was it another psychosis? It's not like me at all to do this I'm very shy although I used to do it A LOT in the past when I was more ill and on no meds. Should I tell my T about it, is there a risk I'll be institutionalised as I'm putting myself at risk? Plus my son even because this guy now he almost knows where I live now. Or do i possibly need my antipsychotics increased? I'm on 2 mg at the moment. Thanks for any comments or insight!
