It's hard to explain but all of my issues work off one another. It all started when I was 15 and tricked into going to the loony bin. I charmed my way out after three weeks. Almost died from antidepressant toxicity, so I swore off drugs. I actually relate to Dexter in a very scary way. Upon me getting out of the Marines they gave me a mental evaluation, and diagnosed me with Adjustment Disorder, and Depressive Disorder. I lied about most of the questions. As time goes on I get worse, but like I said before, I like it, and it's my life. I have a strong, rational mind. Although it gets chipped away everyday by this ing society. The schizophrenia is more recent with hallucinations and delusions. It's gradually getting worse but I have fun with it.
Overview
Schizophrenia can affect the way a person thinks, feels, and acts. It is a fairly common disorder – about one in every hundred people (1%) develop schizophrenia.
Some common symptoms of schizophrenia are:
Hallucinations: seeing, hearing, tasting, smelling, or feeling things that are not there.
Delusions: strongly held false beliefs. For example, a person experiencing a delusion might believe she is being watched or followed when she is not.
Confused thinking: thoughts do not make sense, are jumbled, or are racing or too slow.
Changes in feelings and behaviors: changes in mood, not caring for oneself, or doing things that don’t make sense, such as laughing while someone is talking about something sad.
Difficulty feeling and expressing positive emotions: lack of motivation to start and complete goals and activities, difficulty experiencing pleasure when engaged in activities or around people, reduced range of emotional expression (such as limited facial expressions or poor eye contact). For example, a person may have difficulty getting out of the house, doing things with other people, or pursuing goals such as work, school, or relationships.
Cognitive symptoms: difficulties with mental processes such as trouble concentrating or paying attention, poor memory, or slow thinking.
Me in a nut shell, almost to the T. It has cause me a lot of problems financially but I work through it before it gets to litigation lol.

You aren't a doctor either though. Self diagnosis might make you guilty of being nothing more than a hypochondriac.

Chris, they have done a great deal of excellent work on antidepressants over just the last few years. It sounds like you had bad experiences with them in the past, but not only were you quite young, but they take up to a couple months of continued use to even begin to take their intended effect.
If you still have fun with things, there's an excellent chance that what you think might be worsening can be medicated into control.
You should definitely give it another chance if you feel something is out of control.

I don't think i ever assumed to know what you have. Your story does have a few issues that lends to assumption. For example, I do know that you didn't have an overdose on anti depressants , unless you happen to be admitted in the 60s were tricyclics were the only course of action. I also know they didn't let you out on your own charm but rather , they saw that what ever issue got you there , i'm going to assume a suicide attempt , was not severe enough to warrant not letting someone go on their own recognizance.
And Dexter is a very associable character. TV tends to make characters like that. Replace his main themes with any taboo and normal alienation most feel and you have 50% of Americans right there. But being able to associate with someone is a sign of mental health, not degeneration so that is a good thing.
You do seem to have a lot of anger which is rather not convincing that everything is ok. Many people refuse to admit they have issues which are getting worse making their life worse and try to square things off by associating their person with a medical issue.
I would stay off the rave candy indefinitely if you are already showing symptoms of schizophrenia , granted 90% of those symptoms listed could be many other things, but I personally think you are just creating an alter ego that is more interesting. Everyone does it. You do come across as someone that would suffer the sort of alienation and lack of creativity that portends itself to shooting people in highschools. Living in Ohio must be pretty ing unbearable.

You're an idiot. When did I say overdose? The antidepressants they gave me Zoloft to be exact was poisoning me. My liver wasn't properly filtering out the toxins. I wouldn't kill myself, I'm too logical for that. I don't piss myself off, other people like you do, that's the only people I'd care to brutally murder. So let me reiterate, go yourself . I don't need to be ing analyzed, or hear "what you do know" because I could give two s about you. I can already guess your retort:
I'm going to assume... no I'll speculate that you have never, not once in your life drank water. But I do know that you have jogged before because in the 60's people sweat, and since I've known you for 15 years I'm a turkey. Just shut the hell up and stop breathing, Miss Cleo.

an overdose by definition is a dosage that passes a threshold of harm/benefit ratio. Dosage will reflect toxicity. An overly toxic reaction would thus be an overdose.
Do you think about killing people often ? And what is your favourite drug.

That's just wrong. Do I really need to explain why?
If someone who is allergic to Penicillin suffers serious complications from being given the medication, do you think they overdosed on Penicillin? Forget the fact that SSRIs like Zoloft take about 3 weeks to reach therapeutic levels in the blood, thus making your assumption that he "overdosed" completely asinine.
Regardless, your definition of overdose is incorrect to begin with, so it's not really worth arguing your point. An overdose is simply a dose of a drug that passes the quantity that is typically recommended. Thus if he was taking a normally prescribed dose of Zoloft, which was not being processed correctly by his liver, this is in no way an overdose.
It's kind of baffling how you make yourself out to be some kind of expert on seemingly any imaginable topic here, when so often you very clearly have only the most rudimentary understanding of what you're talking about at best.

Well, technically, they still took too much. :p

I don't think you quite understood what I said Russel. Perhaps you could phrase it in how you feel it means so I could perhaps address your little panty issue.

Trust me, I have a degree in psychotropic medication from the most prestigious pharmacy school in the world.

Well then , it should be rather simple for you to explain my definition and how it does not apply because it is completely congruent with your example even tho that could technically be and according to the medical definitions considered an overdose. My definition covered both.
And out last little run regarding pharmacology, you seemed to have a hard time understanding the use of seroquel as a sedative. So it does scare me that you are the torch bearer of pharmacology knowledge hailing from mount Olympus of Pharmacy Schools. You do seem to over emphasize what one learns in an undergrad. It ain't alot.
My sister asked my advice regarding mental health pharmacology when doing her psychiatric stage. A, i've been on all of them. B, i've spent the last 10 years researching them. So i do know quite a bit.
