Man sorry to hear you are experiencing this right now. It sounds awful. I would either tell him or go see another doctor ASAP and tell them. Are you a full time student? Are there free psychiatric services?
You can start taking low doses of zyprexa or seroquel but of course you won't be able to get those without telling some doctor first.
Whatever you do, do NOT smoke marijuana or take any other drug as they can be triggers for psychotic breaks
In the long run, since you have schizophrenia in your family, you may want to consider trying the nicotine patch or some other safe for of nicotine. Nicotine may reduce the chance of developing schizophrenia.
Don't want to freak you out any more than you are but I came across this on the net:
