Hi nellie7,
thanks for replying. what meds are you on?
yeah you're right about antipsychotics worsening depression. happened in my case of taking risperdal. funny how the drug manufacturers don't list it in their PI sheets. my old pdoc never figured it out either. he just kept raising my zoloft dose till it was maxed at 200 and still no change. the diarrhea was horrible.
yeah I can relate too about being haunted about the things I've done while delusional. I've kinda learned to live with some of it and the intensity of the guilt has faded somewhat. but its hard to forget about it and live for the now.
everynow and then my brain will drift back into thinking about the past and all the crazy deeds that were done.take care and talk to you later. hope I can be of help to you also.
thanks
nfc
