i don't think i have schizophrenia but i have been taking medication ( saphris 5mg) for 2 years because my parents forced me to take it. my parents took me to see a psychiatrist because i have sleep problem, i could only get like 5-6 hours of sleep a day. then i was diagnosed with mild schizophrenia because i'm very sensitive to sounds when i go to sleep, for example my ceiling fan squeaky sound when it turns, a cat that keeps scratching my roof, the noise that plastic bags made when there are wind blowing ( i can't stand all those sounds and need to make sure my room is quiet when i go to sleep). those sounds are proven to be real ( my parents hear it too) it can be very soft ( people just tend to ignore it) but my ears are really sensitive with sounds. those sounds are annoying to me and i can't fall asleep if hear them. my father alsp told the doctor that i'm suspicious that people hate me ( it only happen when i first got in university, in an unfamiliar surrounding. now i'm fine)

at first i didn't want to take the medicine because it makes me very sleepy and drowsy but i started to take them because i can fall asleep very quickly. at one point i started to treat that medicine as my sleeping pils ( i can sleep for 10 hours if i take that medicine)

the problem is now when i want to stop taking that medicine, i can't fall asleep. i can't stop thinking this and that when i lie down on my bed. i can only sleep when i take medicine. i want to stop taking it because i don't think i have Schizophrenia. i don't have hallucinations or anything, i think my only delusion is i can't fall asleep if i don't that medicine
