| Should I get back on anti-paranoia meds?
One more quick thing/question....At the end of his main letter he wrote:
"Well...its lunch time and I have to run ....but I wanted to get this sent to you so you wouldn't think there is some mysterious plot or hatred out there against ya that you didn't know about. LOL! Anyhow...I'll talk at ya later."
My old, highly trained, P-doc use to have me taking what I believe was 100 mg of Seroguel daily (or what is Abilify?...I can't remember what the Abilify was for...) for mild paranoia because I had told him that when I'm in situations like at work and two or more people would be huddled together talking quietly....I would automatically start wondering and thinking that they were talking about me....like I thought I had E.S.P. or something LOL.
Anyway...this new (state provided) P-doc...who I've questioned her competence from the get-go for several reasons I won't bore you with, but she took me off of the meds for paranoia (she said taking 5 different kind of meds at the same time was too much and that she only wanted me on four different ones). So I was like..."Ok, sure"...because I never really thought my mild parania had much affect on my life. I've now been off that med for about 5/6 months.
If you've read this thread...and in looking directly at his comments in this particular spot...do you guys think I should ask my doc to put me back on something for paranoia?
It just struck me by surprize that he would make such a statement...about thinking people people are plotting against me...because i don't think he really knows very much about mental health and well...and yet, that's pretty much the definition of severe parania wrapped up in his one little sentence to me?
So I'm thinking I must have more of a problem with paranoia than I'm realizing and should get back on the meds....Anyone agree?
