I've been hearing the voices for very many years, and they can really annoy me. I'm on Meds (depot) but to no avail. Might as well take jelly beans for all the use the Meds are. I was put on a list of drugs but to no avail. After 12 years I put on a lot of weight. I noticed a dark spot appearing in the 2 o'clock region of my left eye. Went to the optician and he said to immediately go to ED at the hospital. I had put on so much weight that I ended up with three courses of Laser surgery in the eye. I still have low vision 20 years later.
My Dr assured me that it was all right and that to keep taking the meds, my appetite became a curse. I also got Diabetes 2, had a heart bypass, and had a 5.5cm aneurysm in my aorta just below my kidneys down to each iliac arteries; they put stints in it, and one had a slowly leaking stint for several years.
After the operations I point blank refused to take the Meds. On discharge, I bought a Diabetes cook book and religiously stuck to the recipes. I exercised on a walker wheelie a couple of times a day, later went to a gym. I got my weight to something a lot more ideal for me, and now, at 80 years young, I'm still hanging in there, in spite of three mini strokes a month ago.
Never give up, and suicide is a Long Time Solution to a Short Time Problem.
God bless and a Merry Christmas to all
