Psychosis - Just had a relapse plus a warning

Hi all,

So let me start by telling you my diagosis. I have drug induced psychosis and anxiety. Im on amisulpride, fluoxetine and pregablin. I have been on anti psychotics for 3 years. My illness is from a previous cocaine addiction;

I had been going slowly downhill since December. One of my voices ( a voice that just keeps repeating peepo over and over again) increased. I have 2 other voices, Jaffa and god (which isnt really God). Over the last week god got very aggressive and eventually started telling me that i should kill myself, peepo was all the time and i was having ideas of hurting myself. I am religious but this was extreme I became hyper religious, started looking for signs (and still am to a degree) it thought i could read peoples minds.

Then i realised im relapsing. So i saw a psychiatrist and they have increased my meds and i have been on 1000mg of amisulpride for a week now. The symptoms are slowly alleviating. But it was scary and I still am a little scared of myself. I wouldnt hurt anyone other than me but I dont want to hurt myself, I took a paracetamol overdose in 2014 and nearly ended up with a liver transplant so im really wary of that.

I just thought id put this put this out there for advice for recovering from a relapse and also to make the following statement:

****Just because you are stable doesnt mean you should become complacent. Anyone can relapse any time any place. Be kind to yourself * ***

Any advice appreciated

Hello Voicehearer: I'm sorry you are experiencing this difficulty. Hopefully coming here to PC can be of some comfort & support. I don't personally have any advice I can offer. But hopefully other members will have experiences they can share.

I see this is your first post here on PC. So... to PsychCentral… from the Skeezyks! May the time you spend here be of benefit.

PsychCentral is a great place to get information as well as support for mental health issues. The more you post, & reply to other members’ posts, the more a part of the community you will become. Plus there are social groups you can join & chat rooms where you’ll be able to connect with other PC members in real time (once your first 5 posts have been reviewed & approved.) Lots of great stuff! So please keep posting!

Sounds like you're already on medicine, so my only advice for you there is, stay on the meds. Do you have a psychotherapist? Some people just find it useful to have more support than swallowing pills a couple times a day.
