And if it's not obvious to me, then I don't really *need* them??? IDK...sorry, I'm rambling  I have my review session with T later (we originally agreed to meet for 6 sessions and review to see where we would go from then), and I'm trying to distract myself from worrying about that :/

For me I can't sleep without APs----stage I of my psychosis pdoc basically tricked me into seroquel as a sleeping med----then I went off due to a reaction----but then the voices got bad---not more frequent just bad content----I was supposed to be the 3rd horse of the apocalypse just because there was thunderstorm----I asked the pdoc for something to stop the voices he gave me risperidone.
Stage II 3 weeks ago, actual hallucinations are trivial but can't sleep----for me it's always the sleep----as you no doubt know, being unable to sleep is terrible and messes with your functionality in a number of ways. My pdocs will not start with sleep meds they start with APs....
My feeling is I feel better on the meds so I'm going to take them unless that changes---why torture myself?
