In reply to question regarding meds, posted by LV on April 6, 2000, at 14:11:02
Welcome! It sounds to me like you need to have a more thorough discussion with your doctor. The questions you raise are ones that he or she should be willing to help you answer. I have read about the kind of visual trails you describe being a side effect of some meds. I think there might be some refences to it in the Psychopharmacology Tips section of this board (go to top of page and select Tips; you can search for "visual" and see what comes up.) For myself, thinking in terms of "crazy" or "not crazy" isn't very helpful. Certainly, thinking people are against you and worrying about it seem like pretty distressing symptoms. Do your meds affect them at all? Are you in talk therapy as well as taking meds? If not, it sounds like it might help. If you are, I'd recommend bringing these questions up with your therapist.
> Hi, I am new to this site. The question, if you think everyone is against you, are you just being paranoid or just over-reacting.. This happens to me alot. I do worry alot about this, It's enough to drive me crazy. I also, (see rapid movement when I turn my head) like something had just moved...am I going crazy???? My pdoc told me that I suffer with major depression. I am on 300mg of the zoloft, buspar, tegretol, and zyprexa..I take up to 10mg of zyprexa daily...I wonder if I am schizophenia?? Thanks LV
