Oh gosh, @CAAR2016 , you are going through such worrisome times trying to get the right med amount. I wish it were easier to solve things for you and your son.
@mbheart I understand having pretty much been anti-med myself for a quarter of a century almost. I have totally had to do an about face regarding APs and mental illness in general in the last 3 years.
I wish also.
it is not easy when your loves one is non-compliant on oral medicine. makes it harder to try different injections and takes time to get an increase in injection approved.
My son has been resisting Blood work in the past 4 months since his shot dose decreases.
The Director of nursing at the facility where he is assured me that Invega-sustena would not do any liver harm. she said the following:
“the Invega Sustenna injection is highly unlikely to cause any apparent liver injury, but it is linked to slightly elevating the AST levels. There has not been any reported cases of acute liver failure, chronic hepatitis, nor any effects on the bile ducts due to this medication”
I know his doctor from Hospital is a young doctor and probably does not have many years of experience.
Not sure who to believe but I want my son to get better but not on the expense of damaging his liver…
Wishing for a miracle during this holiday season…
The best to all of you and your loved ones.
@mbheart
I understand what you mean by guina pig for multiple varieties of AP meds.
this is what my son told me last year when he get better for a month.
He said: Mom, do you really want me to be a guina pig and trying all these AP medicines on me.
he broke my heart…
I wish I can let him live without meds but I know he will put himself into risky situations and possibly end up homeless!!
Quick question - does everyone think we should wait the full 6 weeks to see results of the 30mg Zyprexa? Or should it have already worked completely ??
I know I’m in the minority in this group as far as being so anti-med. I’m seeing posts from people whose mentally ill loved ones are taking such high dosages and SEVERAL different types of AP drugs, and they talk of it as if it’s the “norm”. May God show his mercy on these afflicted individuals, so very scary what the aftermath could potentially be. We still do not have all of the facts on the destruction of organs and other possibilities of malfunction as a result of long term use of these “poisons”.
Thinking of your poor son…
But many mentally healthy people hate their stepparent. I don’t see it as delusional. She just has a bad opinion of him.
My son was on Zyprexa and it did not help at all. He just gained a lot of weight. I don’t remember how many mg he was on. He was on 800 mg of Seroquel and it helped some but not enough. He needed Clozapine which is the only thing that has worked. He has improved and continues to improve such that we are surprised at the improvement between each time we see him. He was weaned off Seroquel at the same time he was titrating up on the Clozapine.
Yes, you are right @Mypreciousdaughter. For sure. I understand that many healthy people don’t like their step-parent. It is fairly common actually from my experience with other families. He hasn’t been a perfect step father, but she was already an adult living away from me when I re-married as she was 24 years old when I met him. She has only lived with us since she has been ill. The first 6 months she was mostly rotten to me and kind to him. Then it flipped and she is now rotten to him and mostly kind to me.
My daughter, before she was ill, liked him. She was the maid of honor at our wedding which was 5 years before she became ill. Since becoming ill however, she believes that he is mind controlling me (not true obviously as there is no such thing as mind control), that he is abusing her mentally and physically (which was investigated, and he is not/has not), and that he doesn’t work (he does part-time). It makes it tough on us. She lost her delusions about him and sent back to liking him again after her last hospitalization, and the forced injection. But when it wore off, the delusions returned (along with the other symptoms).
Have you ever read “the Illuminati formula to create a totally undetectable mind control slave” by Fritz springmierer.
No, I’d never heard of it until just now. I just looked it up on Amazon ($495) however there are apparently other ways to get it. Chilled me to read the reviews. One of my friends wondered if my daughter’s rantings could possibly be true in some way: mental beings controlling the city… She talks to them constantly, poor thing, she is never at peace.
You can get it in pdf format for free online. There’s hundreds of books about structured MPD. Also A New Breed Satalilite Terrorism In America” by DR. John Hall, explains the technology. At first I thought I was schizophrenic I tried to write it all off as delusional as hard as I could. At that point some of it was, but I still couldn’t justify it as true, and discount all the strange things that genuinely happened to me. Then I read about targeted individuals. Some of it’s true some of it’s induced paranoia. I came across this book and realized I have structured MPD, which also accounts for the technology… Targeted individuals think it’s all technology and don’t understand that most of them have structured MPD and that’s why there targeted.
Here is a cookie cutter post I’ve been sending out in various places. I didn’t go into structured MPD on it. Just every solution I’ve found to fix your head, whatever the problem. I still need to try all of this myself, but I don’t have the money to yet. I don’t believe there are problems without solutions. The frequency jammer, Lens therapy and heavy metal detoxing are first priorities on my list. I’ve read about people who thought they had schizophrenia and people who thougt it was technology, both cure it with heavy metal detoxing.
CBD oil instead of antipsychotics(no THC, it doesn’t get you high)
in depth nutritional balancing
lots of vitamins all the B vitamins, D, coQ10, C, glutamine,glycine, amino acids, krill oil,
there most absorbable in powder form( I get vitamins on amazon the brand is “bulk supplements”)
Also you can get a calcium shell from being scared, you need electrolytes and calcium. It can also cause your copper to be bio unavailable.
(hair follicle tests can be ordered online to check your mineral and metal levels)
(The fastest safest way to detox metals is with magnets. Look up Dr philpott quarterly reports. He did it with a magnet bed using 72 ferret magnet blocks, measuring 6x4x2inches, with the highest guarss strength you can find.)
lens therapy
food allergy’s can be a cause
also t.gohndi a parasite from cat litter ( parasites can be gotten rid of with turpentine and castoroil)
Antiphycotics make everything worse in the long run. It depletes you body of nutrients and shrinks your frontal lobes. There are people who have cured it with nutrition, exercise, and getting rid of heavy metals. You could also get a 16 band frequency jammer just Incase the schizophrenia is being induced with radio waves. The technology to do such a thing has been around for 70 years. It’s not a matter of opinion but a proven fact. Never mentioned by phyciatrists. Which if it is the case, you still need to heavy metal detox.
The phyciatric association says schizophrenia is an incurable disease, because with their methods it is. It’s interesting that people who think they have a brainchip are considered delusional, but there are now people trying to enact legislation to brainchip mental patients. Who’s to say the previouse people weren’t experiments. There is a man who is now a phyciatrist after curing his schizophrenia with heavy metal detoxing. There are numerous reports of this and copper balancing curing it, the only reason they quit giving lobotomys is because they came out With APs . I don’t trust it for one second.

Thank you for your detailed post. I can agree that heavy metal detoxing can cure a host of ills. There is a pretty famous health place near me that people fly into from all over the world, and detoxing is one of their main services. The owners are in their 80’s I believe and look like they are at least 20 or 30 years younger. I was shocked to find out their ages.
It is funny that you mention cat litter and infection. My daughter and ex-husband lived in a home with 5-9 cats and 3 litter boxes. It used to smell so badly when I went over to visit. That was years before she went mad though.
My psychiatrist (actually 2 different ones) told me that you should begin to see “gains” within 1 week. Now, this does not mean necessarily substantial, just some little glimmer. All I saw with each dosage increase is this “red eye-liner look” grow heavier and heavier around her eyes. She appeared like a zombie with no change in her behavior. She would get up to use restroom in middle of the night and pass out on the floor from being light-headed. It was determined she was “treatment resistant” and we should continue with something else. I couldn’t do it. Psychiatrist thought I was the one needed to be on meds because I told her I was weaning her off before she began another round of something else. She told me I wouldn’t be able to handle it. She is so much better off the meds. NOW, that being said, if I saw even a hint the meds were doing anything for her I would have gladly continued, but I couldn’t to see her health deteriorate with no notable gains in behavior, sleep, delusions, etc…I know for some the meds have been a God-send, it just wasn’t in our case.
