> If everyone who has a "weird" or bizarre thought were to take antipsychotics, then pretty much everyone would be drugged. Usually psychotic people hear voices--a LOT of voices. They also act noticeably different. I am not saying I think you are not psychotic; only your doctor can determine this.
I'm pretty sure I've never been psychotic. P-doc1 said I have a borderline personality. I think maybe I have bad temper tantrums. P-doc2 doesn't know me yet and give me a powerful anti-psychotic. P-doc1 said I need counselling.
Me, I'm totally confused. I just don't want to get insanely upset and think people want me dead. When I think people want me dead, I want to kill myself. I don't know what the heck is wrong with me. Maybe I'm just a really horrible person with terrible temper tantrums. I don't think I ever really lose my mind, but I do know I lose control of my emotions and the thoughts that lead to those emotions.
Those times feel so horrible that I'm willing to try an anti-psychotic for them, that's how horrible they feel.
> I wouldn't worry about the twitches. I get all kinds of weird movements and I don't even think half of them are related to the drugs I take. I have organic problems. I'm not dead yet.
Phew, it's good to know that the twitches are probably nothing to be worried about. I've actually noticed fewer twitches since I decided to take 0.25mg of the Risperdal. I get more twitches when I think about them too, it's weird.
So far, no real side effects, not even a stuffy nose.
