I think going on your trip is a dangerous idea. Hang in there, you will get stable and out of psychosis, but you need medical attention to get better. This is a serious illness.
Thanks for the info.
Zyprexa and Quetiapine is like one of the newer med these days.
My dr wants the least side effects as possible.
It's so hard to communicate with my dr :'( ughh........ i don't know. I am so frustrated. I am drawing my psychotic thoughts and images out on paper coz I can't possibly draw on the wall of the hotel room.... I stilll feel like punching someone in the face. and I have to pretend to be fine in front of others.
