Hey guys and gals, I was wondering if any of you have had a similar experience to mine? I take Geodon 80mg at night to stave off psychosis, have had results come back for high scores for schizophrenia on a personality test, yet I do not have schizophrenia. The most my psychologist can tell me is that I do experience psychosis when off my meds (things get really weird very quickly) but it confuses me because I can not think of why. Overall I was just wondering if there is anyone out there that has had experiences, or knows someone with experiences of psychosis with no real diagnosable cause?

I am familiar with isolated psychotic episodes not being related to any mental illness, but I have never heard of someone who has consistent psychosis if unmedicated and not being diagnosed with bipolar, schizoaffective or schizophrenia. Do you think you should get a second opinion?

What are your symptoms of psychosis when off meds? Does the geodon work for you taking it just once a day?
Also, sometimes drs don’t like to diagnose right away, especially if symptoms go away when meds work. They may not want you to feel stigmatized by a diagnosis. If you’re doing well that’s what’s important. Take care! (I hope you will write back to me)! Ellie Greene |
