Meds

Meds

So I don’t want to jinx anything but I think my meds might actually be working the last 2 weeks. I am not hearing and seeing things as much and I am not so scared that everyone is trying to hurt me and I am starting to think maybe all that stuff before wasn’t real but I am still not 100% sure about that yet. But anyway I am on a depot injection and I want to ask to go to tablets the only thing is idk if they will let me and also idk if that is actually a bad idea.

1. I am forgetful with taking meds so I am not sure if I switched to tablets would I keep forgetting to take them .

2. I do still hear stuff sometimes and sometimes get really paranoid and it doesn’t usually last long but what if that makes me want to not take the meds.

i want to go on tablets though because it means I could go visit my family who lives in another state for longer periods of time provided covid isn’t an issue anyway. But idk what to do that is if they even let me off the depot in the first place idk I am just feeling confused as to what to do.

Hi @Eden1919 - try this weblink instead, it's a bit shorter: https://positivepsychology.com/neuroplasticity/ I've been told that I need to be on meds for two to five years after my First Episode of Psychosis (FEP), so it could be that you just need to stick it out for a while.

Re: Meds

@Gwynn thanks, yeah 2-5 years would maybe be ok except this isnt the first or even second time this has happened and idk if that changes things.
