"I think about trying Zyprexa (I have the pills, but I'm scared of the dyskinesia.)"
My father has been prescrided Zyprexa and I believe that it is suppose to help with his dyskinesia. Try doing a search with the "Zyprexa and dyskinesia" on this site to see if it is a common side-effect. There's some people on this who post regularly who'll be able to answer your specific questions regarding medications.
"I'm scared cause the ideas I had when I did my psychosis come back to me, and all they say is that suicide is the only way to go. But I don't want to die! I'm scared of the part of me who wants to die."Doo, I don't think part of you wants to die but just to relieve the distress. This happens to me when I'm stressed or shortly after a stressful event. It is scary when you're young. The first time it happened to me (in my teens) I acted on it, but now as I'm older I just count to ten.
I have found that seeing a psychologist has helped. After being on effexor for about five weeks I had considered stopping it and was talking about it to the psychologists. It was one of the rare times I had seen him react emotionally, "No!" So not all psychologists are anti-medication. Perhaps finding another one can help to releve some of your distress.
Check out the Social-Babble board, there's a recent post on there about PBD I think.
