I expect the right med cocktail to put me into remission. I have accomplished this for a year. But my life situation was different back then. I had structure in my life. I was highly motivated to complete a job. I interacted with people on a daily basis both professionally and personally.
So now that I am isolated with allot of stress, my meds are not working as well. My doctor has been fine tuning my med cocktail. He has even tried my original cocktail that worked. But I still struggle every day. There was one month earlier this year I was at my baseline. The only thing that I can remember is I hiked out in the desert on a semi regular basis, sometimes with my daughter. But I thought I was doing this because I was already feeling better.
What do you guys think? Are meds not enough for remission?
PS: Recently I have had a downturn during an already bad month. I just remembered that I have run out of Olanzapine. But what I said above still holds to be true.
