"Psychotic?"

Post Reply New Topic

I was diagnosed with psychotic attack schizophrenia type, just for telling the doctor, that sometimes when im too interested in my things usally physics or math, my stimuli filter stop working, and i start to see numbers and graphs everywhere, and problems start to solve alone, and sometimes is so overwhelming, that i have to go to sleep, because i cant concentrate, the sounds and colors and numbers, sometimes cant even let me do my normal things, and when that happens usually ends when i end some problem i was thinking it was hard, so until i dont solve that problem, i cant even sleep, because my mind doesnt shut down, and i just have to accept my mind showing me everything.

I know this is not something a neurotypical experiment, but is not a psychotic symtompt to, usually to get diagnosed with psychotic attack, you need to have delusions or hallucinations for at least 6 days-12 days, this thing just happen ocasionally, and just last for 3-4 days.

I was in antipsychotics 3 months, until another psychiatrist told me i didnt have a psychotic attack, that it was autism, and sometimes i cant filter things easily.

I suffered that conversion thing back in 1980 during my own "Great Depression" in my Senior year at HS. Physical symptom, numbness, that I actually twisted to punish myself for my sister's death. But that is a long story & I digress...
Nothing stated above is vaugely psychotic in anyway.

I'm a NT, and I read children's (not teen) books, sometimes watch kiddie shows, love to go on swings and rides that don't make me too dizzy, and would still be building things with my kids blocks if we hadn't had to get them out of the living room . . . Oh, and by the way, I'm a highly successful professional (on here because of my beloved Aspie daughter).
Do what you like, as long as you're not hurting anybody. If it makes you feel better, then it's a GOOD thing.

Oh, jeez. Haldol. You have my sympathy. I have only been on that once, while in the hospital, and I can hardly remember that time. There's a reason they call those things "major tranquilizers".

They do still use it as a tranquilizer, for that reason, because it works relatively quickly, but why in the world would they go to it first when there are other antipsychotics available that don't basically flatten you into a drooling, half-conscious lump?

Have you ever been put on Olazapene? I was put on that along with clonazepam and it took my blood pressure way up and my blood sugar way down and I was so sedated that I could hardly get out of bed to use the bathroom! Doctors really suck when they chose medications, they see dollar signs instead of the patients needs.

I was also on Haldol for a very short time when I was really depressed and had major sleep problems -as in only being able to sleep an hour in two days-I always have insomnia so it was really bad when I was depressed. It helped me sleep a bit but made me so sedated and out of it that they took me off of it in 2 weeks. Now I take an SSRI , Straterra which is a non-stimulant ADHD med and olazopam occasionally when I can't sleep.
