I've been contemplating for a while about taking only my anti psychotic because I don't feel like myself. Does anyone else find themselves feeling the same way. I guys maybe I was contemplating taking myself off all my meds because I sometimes miss heating the voices and seeing the shadow people sometimes.

Hi eliralena. I feel that way some times, but I don't miss the voices or shadow people.
I see and hear the same as you. I take meds for Paranoid Schizophrenia. Some times I feel a bit odd, but it goes away fast. It scares the hell out of me to see the shadow people.
The voice don't scare me as much. Since I've been on the meds I don't hear the voiced.
I still see things at times, but I am doing so much better. Take care of yourself.

Sincerely,

Piraeus

I took myself off my meds b/c they made me so dopey and zombie like that I couldnt function at work. I'm a phlebotomist so being like that wasnt an option for me. She took me off the remron, and increased my welburtin and kept me on Geodon. Now I'm able to work and act like I should at work. That was the biggest mistake I've made in a very long time. While I was off them my voices became more and more often and werent very nice. I dont recommend it.

Finding the right combo of meds took forever for me. If you are not getting good response with a med or med combo then try another. I have found out that there is hope to be a little more sane and to feel more like yourself....D.

Its a strange world. When you have been living in psycho land long enough, "reality" seems even stranger - especially when it comes dressed in groggy cocktail (alias neuroleptic daze). I felt a bit like Thor taking a limiting human form and crashing down to earth with a thud. I do miss some of the stranger things, but they haven't left me completely. I'm ok with that.
The accusing voices and paranoia about being hunted I am most definitely not feeling any nostalgia for.

I also would never want voices to come back, they're too scarry.Reality is wonderful!!!

I have no problem not hearing voices anymore but I've been in" psychotic land"for so many decades I worry who I'd be without any of it. If it were possible to be 100% well, what is my identity? It would take getting used to. I'm not sure I'd want it all gone. But, maybe being well is so much more freeing and amazing. Sza and PTSD.
