Thanks! Good suggestion but...
Unfortunatly, the last meds I was on started giving me bad side effects... I came off them, convinced they were the root of my apathy & most my symptoms disappeared. P-doc was happy for me to stay off meds after a 3 month check up with no return of symptoms.
I'm not sure why my symptoms went away coming off meds but I was interested to read there is a higher rate of people becoming symptom free in third world countries where they don't have access to APs. Also watched something interesting on brain plasticity. Some combination of those I guess.
Coming back to stay with my parents seems to have been a major help... cutting back on anxiety & not having to be around a busy town seems to help with the suspiciousness & persecutory stuff... get a bit jumpy sometimes but it doesn't last too long.
