It takes some some time for new medications to work, some people say their symptoms just continue to improve for a year or more. You can find ways to work with the medications, too. Focusing on positive things, talking back to voices, many things can help. Too having the voices quiet down is good, that's a good sign.

what do the voices say? do you have really weird dreams?
be careful...i've dealt with being administered nearly every anti-psychotic drug while i was in the hospital and ****, i've been thru a lot; bottom line anti-psychotics cause psychosis!! |

One of our sons, our eldest, deals with Schizoaffective Disorder, called by others as Schizophrenia, among other psychoses. We have ached for him now six years after first DX, although, had we known of his true issues we may have seen his situation for what it was much earlieer.
Brilliant beyond measure, he is phenomenal with IT matters, but cannot remain there long, because "an episode" may be brought on and his fears overwhelm. The meds he now has by RX are helping, and horrific fear episodes have lessened significantly, although we wonder as we age what will become of our dear young one. This, perhaps, is why we pray for the means ultimately to build a home facility for folks such as he who, in common, may feel safety of circumstances while having care, and freedom to express themselves as they may. This son is a wondrous artist, lyricist, musician, and on a computer, seemingly filled with God's intuitive gifts of understanding, solutions, structure, and code..... but then the psychosis interrupts. I know all of the posts on these threads are ancient so far as time demonstrates, and yet, reaching out seems necessary. Thus, I write. Years ago, although he claims not to have heard voices per se, he felt as though he was compelled to meet with a variety of High Profile individuals who would approach him incognito to receive a message he had to deliver to them. This we first discovered when he drove an hour away for a "meeting" and "she" did not show up in disguise. Thereafter, we pursued DX aggressively wanting to know what had become of our child. Parents caught in situations such as these are ill prepared even via support groups once DX is confirmed. There seems to be nothing societally. Thus, I post. Reaching out, Mark56 |

Even just knowing you to be there is comforting. This evening our twins, the eldest of our children, identical boys...... actually young men returned home early. Our eldest was deep in the middle of a psychogenic seizure, eyes rolling, swinging his head from side to side, something he has not had to endure for months, but all too familiar to us not to realize its certainty.
He has been observed at the university med center, where the DX was certain not epileptic, but ever so real in manifestation as the culmination of so many psychoses coincide to torment him into stupefying seizure. Wailing, crying, mumbling he does not want to live over and over as he endures the seizure. Such a beautiful young man [ok handsome ] and brought from brilliance to.... this. We worry for him, pray for him, have him in front of either psychologist or psychiatrist every week. Meds do help, but the holding of our son as he goes through one of these is enough to rip any parent's heart strings away and leave tatters where we would like to experience joy and know he may as well. Never alone, we keep keen eyes on him, our goals including the re-establishment of our financial resources so as to fully provide for him into the future once we are gone. These moments are so ......hard...... and we pray, Even now, Praying, Mark56 |

Prayer to God frequently through the day helps keep my voices at bay. I pray Angelus at 6 a.m., noon and 6 p.m., morning offering, Devine Mercy at 3 p.m. and rosaries at 8 p.m. Also, mindfulness, which is a way of concentrating on the present here and now. The voices are very distracting. It's like having noise on all the time. Love, Roberta7659 |
