Having a horrible relapse of my schizophrenia?

i cant tell if its real or not. anything. its either real or just a horrible relapse. anyone suffer from schizophrenia or a like illness? what can you do in times of paranoia and seeing the hallucinations or delusions its scary :( they are in my house. yes i have seen doctors in the past, 5 psychiatrists and multiple councilors, been hospitalized involuntarily, and am on cymbalta 30mg and invega 3mg soon to be moved up onc ei tell her (my psychiatrist) what is happenin on tuesday. any help would be most appreciated!

As far as hallucinations, I don't know..... for me listening to music became a part of my delusions....... so I can't really recommend listening to music to minimize symptoms.

It sounds like you genuinely are in a relapse. I would call 911 and get into an emergency room because just speaking from my experience the delusions were uncontrollable and things just escalated.

Then in the hospital, I would get my medication straight.

I don't think you can wait until tuesday.

Feel free to email me.

Good luck!

I would recommend taking yourself to the nearest ER for admission. Medication adjustments only take a few days. As you already know waiting out the hallucinations/delusions is usually unsuccessful. Cymbalta is minimally effective in treating schizophrenia, however positive results have been documented with Invega ususally around 6-9 miiligrams. However for compliance issues many patients like the Haldol Deconate shot which can last for 2 weeks to a month, Invega shot lasting a 2 weeks, or Risperdal Consta lasting 2 weeks to a month.

awww sweety, I'm sorry you are having a hard time. My boyfriend is having a relapse right now himself, and should be in the hospital but is not. One of you has to go, and all signs point to you still being here enough to help yourself. Be strong, I know it's frightening, but you are very brave, you can do this. Pick up your phone and call a friend or a family member and go to the ER before the symptoms get away from you, and you become to ill to help yourself.

You can do this, people love you and care about you. You are not alone in this, there will always be someone there to help, even if it is just from this side of a laptop.

take care.

Thanks for answering my question dude

Iv been through this before, a couple of times actually when i had flashbacks from acid trips

What i did was try get your mind of what you are thinking about (the constant worry/paranoia etc) What i found helped was to play video games, for some strange reason it would distract me from my outside problems and break the cycle thinking pattern we get when we are paranoid. Other things you can do is play music really loud, just something to shift your thoughts. Thats all i got for now man hope you well in the future, good fortune to you.

p.s Maybe ask your psychiatrist to try different meds
