My Doctor insists on being irrational!

My Doctor wishes to increase my antipsychotic medication. Geodon, double the dose, and I explained to her the medication and that whole family of medications , has achieved only negative results in my life?

What sense is there repeatedly insisting on going up on a chemical that does nothing but the opposite of what you want it to?:confused:

(Funny story about my last antipsychotic abilify. It made me tremor and my muscles vibrate and spasm.

I asked the bride of God if I could be her Mechanical boy, the Queen of Heaven's toy, instrument of pleasure. Right after praying that prayer it felt like I was vibrating from muscle spasms and twitching especially in the shoulders. What a convenient time for that manifestation, no?

I don't take that med anymore so I don't twitch or vibrate these days. :rolleyes::p

I love my Doctor, but she seems to have totally lost her ability to reason, insisting on going up on this med. :(

(Abilify does make you twitch, tremor, spasm , and vibrate though. I know others who had the same experience!

Same thing with other antipsychotics!):eek:

I can't exactly fire my Doctor or shop for a new one without losing my entire caseworker, therapist, peer support specialist, and act team, which I don't want.

Plus she's young and cute which I like. :)

But she just can't friggin reason sometimes!

Obviously she thinks you're too psychotic, and need a higher dose, its up to you to convince her you're not

Actually, she didn't say that at all because I asked her precisely if that was the reason.

She said it isn't at a good theraputic dose to see it's positive results.

That's odd you say this. Geodon made my legs shake uncontrollably. Abilify, for some reason has no side effects on me other than weight gain. Prolixin made me hear voices. I never did hear voices til I was on prolixin. I went back to abilify, and I've been fine ever since. You wouldn't even know I have schizophrenia.

When you say its only achieved negative results, what do you mean? Side effects, or something else?

Well, to judge by the eccentric threads you are now starting, with increasing frequency, I think you maybe should listen to your doctor. I don't think you are necessarily doing quite as well as you may think. Compared to how you were on this forum some months ago, I mean.

I realise a little thing like your forum posting style may not be a great indicator of your condition, of course: it is just an impression I have, for whatever it may be worth. For example, this weird stuff about the Bride of God's mechanical boy. That does not make a lot of sense, really.

Maybe give your doc a second chance to make her case?

Mechanical man is a song and I was praying to be the Queen of Heaven's robot, always doing her will and possessed by her spirit.

I'm not saying that's healthy. But it isn't completely irrational. If someone wiser and smarter than I has control of my mind and behavior, I can do more good and less bad on earth. So, it would in theory make sense, even if it's a delusional wishful thinking.

Also, you are only partially correct.

An increase in bad mental health symptoms as of late, you are absolutely correct.

However, the irrational decision on the Doctor's part is she wants to go up on a medication that has 0 positive contributions to me mentally , and multiple negative consequences. You tell me, what makes sense about going up on a chemical like that?

In fact, I got on the medicine only about a month ago, so you are essentially saying my mental health has gone down hill since being prescribed it.

Also, another area is, I can list at least five medications that have helped me positively, that the Doc can switch to.

She insists on going up on something that has only negative consequences, no positive changes, and avoiding things that help.

It makes no sense. But thank you!

When did you increase the dose?

I just got on the med a month ago.

She keeps insisting on going up , but hasn't done so, because I'm basically going to strongly refuse to go up on the med , unless she starts telling courts I'm not complying.

I confess, I'm messed up in the head. But increasing a medicine that makes it worse , accomplishes what good now???

It's also a medication that is bad for the heart and requires EKGs

I actually have a nurse practitioner who doesn't like the med I'm on at all, who is going to try to get the Doc to change the med all together.

If you're unhappy or having problems with your medication, its probably best to bring it up as soon as you can. They can let you know if what is going on is normal, or if its a bad reaction.

I actually had to switch psychiatrists because one of the psychiatrists I saw put me on anti-depressants (I'm not depressed) that made me incredibly depressed. Then, because I felt more depressed as a side-effect of the medication, she kept increasing my dosage and making it worse!

I'm much better now that I'm on medication that actually helps me, but boy do I know the frustration of having a shrink that refuses to listen to you as they actively harm you. I have some horror stories from my friends who checked themselves into psychiatric wards, too. You might not be crazy. I'd definitely see about getting a second (and maybe even a third) opinion.

Do not forget to give the doctor feed back. They are practicing medicine so they are learning as well. Communication is very important so explain everything so they are not left in the dark.

That's what I see. It's very clear!!
