Unfortunately I can't drive myself so my mom drives me. Anyways she's not off work on the days my pdoc is available. I'm so upset. This psychosis is kicking my butt! I can barely function.

Can you take a bus, or a taxi? It's important to go to your appointments. It also sounds like you need more help at this time than your pdoc can give you over the phone. You may need to go IP to get meds adjusted and the psychosis under control. Good luck. ((((HUGS))))

Can your mom give you some money for a cab? You really need to get in!

I really don't know what to do. It's getting unbearable and I don't know when my app will be.

I am sorry it has been so hard for you.
It seems like you are a rapid cycler.... Have you ever been hospitalized? What are your meds now? bizi __________________ lamictal 2x a day haldol 2x a day cogentin 2x a day klonipin , 1mg at night, fish oil coq10 multi vit,, vit c, at noon, tumeric, caffeine Remeron at night, zyprexa, requip2-4mg |

Rapid cycling just means having an episode 4 or more times in one year if I remember correctly, it was just an observation.
May I ask why you are so against being hospitalized. That is the safest place to be if you are unstable. bizi __________________ lamictal 2x a day haldol 2x a day cogentin 2x a day klonipin , 1mg at night, fish oil coq10 multi vit,, vit c, at noon, tumeric, caffeine Remeron at night, zyprexa, requip2-4mg |

I'm just terrified of hospitals. I don't know what they're going to me and all the unknown is scary. Plus I don't want my family or friends seeing me like that. __________________ I'm on a mix of meds. Who knows at this pont.. |

Tell me about your psychosis. I have not read all of your threads but if you want to tell me what is/has been going on. I will listen.

I'm paranoid. I feel like my house is bugged and I'm being watched through the camera on my phone and the webcam on my computer and by the cars outside. I also believe that my pills are fakes. I'm convinced they're placebos and that they aren't working. I still take them though because my mom forces me to. My family also says the pills are working but I don't see it. __________________ I'm on a mix of meds. Who knows at this pont.. |

yes this is psychosis. It sounds like your seroquel is not working for you.
What do your therapist or pdoc say? When do you see them? How long have you been psychotic? Your antidepressant may be fueling the mania. You may need a change in meds. feeling that your meds are fake is part of the psychosis, I think. bizi __________________ lamictal 2x a day haldol 2x a day cogentin 2x a day klonipin , 1mg at night, fish oil coq10 multi vit,, vit c, at noon, tumeric, caffeine Remeron at night, zyprexa, requip2-4mg |

try to see your pdoc first if you can....tell them about your symptoms still and need for their intervention, you need their help.

I guess I'll go to my pdoc first. I have until Monday to get the money. I write everything down in notes,so he'll know everything. What kind of help do I need exactly ?
