When I found out I was pregnant I had to
come off almost all of my meds except for
an anti depressant. I actually did pretty
good for a while, dealing with stress and
all, I think I handled things pretty good.
I go to my therapist twice a month and I
have a skills group once a month.
But lately when I get stressed out I start
to get that feeling again like i'm about
to go into some sort of episode and also
the staticy sounds I use to hear seem to
be coming back.
Are there any ones here who have gone
unmedicated and have been able to handle
themselves when they feel like thier about
to have some sort of episode (i don't know
how else to describe it) how do you handle
hearing things that bug you and how do you
get it to stop.
My psychiatrist told me he wants me back
on my regular meds once the baby is born.
(i'm due march 9th) but I think i've done
pretty good handling myself for a long
time now and I think I don't want to go
back to all of them.
I was just wondering how unmedicateds cope
when thier symptons start flairing up
again. Like I said i've been doing good
except the past couple weeks.

Psychotic Schizophrenia Posted: 02-17-05 04:34am
Heya!! I stopped taking medication for
psychotic schizophrenia mid 2003 and I was
fine, except a little crazy for about six
months until I set fire to a government
building and then I was taken to a
psychiatric ward and put back on
medication.
So, I guess just take it real easy if
you're anything like my condition, I heard
cold water is good for this type of thing.
My mother also recommends breathing
exercises and walking. Hope this
helps!! Laterz^^
