I guess I should give up on increasing the Concerta. They might even stop prescribing idk.
I'm on 200mg seroquel now because the abilify was decreased to 10mg
I'm not freakig out. Why? Because I have schizotypal disorder which can be easily get confused for schizophrenia.
If I get my concerta taken away, my dependent OCD wired brain will go insane. Maybe that's what they want but that's an irrational thought. I see them as less irrational when i was in the mental state I was in last night
My old psychiatrist wants me on injectable abilify because I'm not med compliant. I agree because I don't trust me either

The problem is that schizotypal can progress to schizophrenia in cases, diagnoses aren't concrete. But you also have to remember that the diagnosis is not you, you aren't going to change as a person if you're diagnosed with schizophrenia.
I know when I was diagnosed I thought the sky was falling, but nothing much changed from my previous diagnosis in terms of treatment or how I acted.
