medication for schizophrenia Posted: 08-18-07 17:35pm
I very much liked the last bit of this
post. It makes A LOT of sense to me. I am
not a diagnosed schizophrenic, I'm not
sure if I am. I do, however, have panic
attacks quite often which have been very
bad lately. With graduating, college, the
death of a friend, a huge fight with
someone I love very much and lots of other
things happening, I can believe that my
mind is overloaded. I have been sexually
abused in the past and haven't dealt with
it. I haven't gotten over a few bad heart
breaks. I'm a scrambled egg. I want to
talk to a specialist, but haven't gotten
there yet. I have a voice, which is like a
loud thought, and I believe it's my
guardian angel. It's always good, listens,
doesn't barge into my mind, I have to ask
for the advice. But that one is good.
There is, however, a bad one that
sometimes tries to confuse and scare me,
and it has done well with that but I'm
trying to get over it. I called someone at
a Metaphysics school and she told me my
mind is too open and weak to handle the
things "out there". I focus on a lot of
abstract things, and I am a hypochondriac
and a big panicker. These are all big
factors, but I just wanted to comment on
what you said.
I do believe that everyone needs to find
their own kind of healing. There is no ONE
WONDER DRUG, you need to find the kind of
healing, whether it's drugs or therapy
that help you the most. It's a personal
response kind of thing. Some things don't
help my panic, and others do. I,
personally, do try to stay away from
medication if I can, but if you are very
bad, then take it to get yourself back on
your feet.

Psychiatrist uses
antipsychotics as a chemical lobotomy to
the brain. Science now shows that
antipsychotics shrinks the frontal lobe of
the brain. The longer you stay on it,
the harder to go off it. If you used it
for awhile, it will become impossible to
go off it. They become drug addicts
with serious side effects. Psychiatrist
uses antipsychotics really as a social
control! Use antipsychotics no more
than a month! After that,a psychiatrist
should prescribe a psychologist.
Psychiatrist invented "schizophrenia" to
describe people who are emotionally
overwhelmed. Schizophrenia is a healing
process of the brain once the brain could
not process all the infomation. It is
like a crash in a computer and
schizophrenia is the rebooting of the
computer.
