Should human rights be taken away from someone if they are diagnosed with schizophrenia?

Oki had my first appt in texas and they keeping me in the same med. I keep meaning to writte more but evreytime it runs in my mind a moment later it seems to be gone. I dont have the emotions I did before. I think its one of the side affects of the drug or maybe is exactly what the drug suppose to do Im not sure. But anyways im still not smoking and things are ok. I seem to have lees auditorry halucinations So the drug is doing its job. And my thinking is definaly slowed down so my anxiety level is down. They gona send me an appt slip for when my next appt is and ill update more then.

Hi, Peter. Nice to see you. A good thanksgiving to you too.

Look! Schizophrenia now has a picture - these are brain neurons in a Petri dish photographed at the Salk Institute; the sick neurons form fewer connections:

Happy to hear you're doing well, Pete. Thanks for stopping by with an update. Happy Holidays to you as well!

Happy New Year All !!

Happy New Year to you, too, Peter! I hope 2012 is a good year for you.

Whent to see the doc today. Evreything seems to be regulated with the doses we are at now. Still not smoking cigarrestes. So all is well to report so far. Thank you for reading yall.

I have not heard from you in a long time, I hope you are doing OK.

Hiyas. Sorry I havent replied in a wile. I had my courtcase for my disability coming up and true to my disease I had paranoia about writting. You know like thoughts 'they are reading this and the gona pull it court' kind of thing. Well the case went good and I got my disability. Yays. Meds doing good but i gained alot of weight on them. Im new to the diet scene so my Brother is getting me one of those calorie counter sites. Triathbee is on weight watchers so shes helping me too. since I begun meds I gained about 50 pounds. Thats realy bad for my health. The other side effect im getting is always being drowsy and sleeping. Ill bring those things up in my next doc visit next month. Well hope all is well with evretone and Ill try to check in more often. Thank you all.

It's great to see you, Pete! I'm glad things went well for you at the hearing and that you're doing well overall. 50!!! Yeah, that's a lot. Definitely talk to your doc about the weight gain and the drowsiness. Keep us posted. We're pulling for you!

Wow you sound really good. I know that you have to be proud of yourself for the quit smoking and all that you have done. The reason I know this is because I quit smoking too and it is the hardest thing I have done. It has only been 11 weeks for me and that **** was no joke. I also have to diet not that I gained a lot from the quitting but I am over weight by 50 lbs from years of not watching my diet. I think I should weigh around 160 for being 5' 9"


We all have problems that we face. Take my advice, if things get bad "never ever" pick up smoking again because it was so easy to get hooked and it was harder for me to quit the second time. What a fool I was.

Hi Just wanted to update they cut the morning dose from 1 mg to 1/2 mg. That should help with my day drowsiness and apetite. Hope evreyone is doing fine

Hi Pete glad you stop by time to time to say hello !
All the best !
