Hi folks,

Just back from holiday yesterday & I think it's recharged my batteries somewhat.

I also had an appointment with my psychiatrist which was quite interesting. Talked about the difference between internal & external voices, which led to the conclusion mines are definitely external.

Also he said the usual period of time for drug-induced psychosis to disappear is 3 months, well I've been psychotic without taking drugs for 5 months now. He said the jury was still out though because there is some research appearing showing it might last much longer in some people & with successive occurrences but then again I might have a schizophreniform illness of some sort. Only time will tell.

Decided to stay at 10mg of meds. P-doc said I seem quite sensitive to meds so we might not want to 'chase' symptoms & just keep it all manageable which it currently is at the moment. All I have is really quiet voices & very occasional paranoia.

As for my restlessness, I might be starting on propranolol if it doesn't calm down in the next couple of weeks. That'd probably help with my anxiety too so I am going to research it to see what sort of side effects it can have to see if the benefit of using it is worth it.

Phew, long post... hope you are all doing well!!
