Why are they even giving me medication antipsychotics when they don't believe I'm psychotic. I'm on two bloody ap's, what are they for? They clopixol helps the voices a little bit while the chlorpromazine helps with the anxiety and the voices. It's like I can distract myself easier from ideas I have when I'm on those meds.

Does this post make sense?

I'd be surprised if many of you (people without a diagnosis of scz) asked about your so called psychotic experiences to your doctors that you'd probably get the same answer I got. They told me and held me in hospital because I was psychotic, that's why they could detain me. I even have the patient notification form with 'psychosis and further clinical assessment' but yet they tell me I'm not psychotic and have never been psychotic.

I was doing ok there for a while but I can feel it all coming down again. Just crashing down.
I dont understand your doctors at all...I know I for sure was told I had psychosis they just don't know which dx I have yet if any. The only other thing with voices is DID do they think you have that? You do seem to lose time/memory...
