Didn't you say you were schizoaffective?
I have heard of using dopamine agonists with antipsychotics for treatment of negative symptoms in schizophrenia. I don't know if it's actually practiced and I'm not sure if this is relavant to your illness. They mostly talk about improving working memory.

What makes me so angry is not that I have it so bad, but that others have it so good.
If everyone felt as crappy as me then I'd be a little more satisfied.

I just realized i had the same thought. Pessimism i belive is part of personality, which is why i have concluded change to the personality is the solution, slowly pick up new views, instead of the lifeless ones before.

I think why your feel dead, is lack of confidence that your can influence your enviorment.
If you do get new view, get a confident view.
Dr. Bob your now can redirect this post.

Thats a good attitude, wait for a medication to give you a free get out of jail card and make it so you don't have to work at it.
Get off you @ss and quit being so lazy and pitty yourself. Do you serve cheese with that wine you have?
May I bring pajamas to your next pitty party?
My recomendation is go buy a 357 magnum and get creative.

Our right to complain about our state of affairs is what makes us human.
Tell a person to suffer and to shut up about it and I'll show you somebody who's really messed up.
Those are the people who really snap, the ones who live through hell and don't feel they have the right to complain about it.
I think what you said was nasty and inaprropriate.

I agree. I read it...that guy went WAY over the line.
I was going to write you earlier in response to "What makes me so angry is not that I have it so bad, but that others have it so good" to you that being depressed , at least once, may have an upside. It may give you insights and sensitivities that other people don't experience. Better than being the blissfully ignorant bimbo-teenybopper ( figuratively speaking ) in my opinion.
Maybe some others don't have it so good, if you know what I mean.

what does it mean to say "the cheek of it"? I've never heard that before. It sounds funny and uk-ish.

Hi,
To be 'cheeky' means to be rude/not polite.

i am so tempted to say some things that would be extremely uncivil right now. But i won't. Only because i don't want to be warned or banned.
The stupidity of some people never ever ceases to astound me. i can't even begin to understand why people who are completely ignorant and unsympathetic to these issues would want to post on here. They must be bigger losers than i am myself.
Oh well. i'm glad that everyone reacted calmly enough to this situation. People like... well, like those who are extremely ignorant and arrogant and judgmental and unsympathetic and, ultimately, stupid, just need to be ignored as much as possible (after pointing out their wrongness for the sake of the person who they are criticizing though, of course). They just try to get attention by being [donut]holes. They don't deserve any attention or respect.
(Sorry. i hope this didn't wind up being uncivil. i tried to generalize.)

Hi Sebastian,
How are you, I've been reading through these posts again and I really understand where you're coming from. I felt like that two years ago, you really want to do something but you know it won't make any difference (because you've tried it) and it didn't make a scrap of difference so what's the point. What I have tried doing is just ordering myself to do something then having a rest then telling myself to do something else, like it's somebody else telling me what to do, giving myself instructions sort of but two years ago I don't think that would have worked either.
All I can say to you is whilst you're feeling like this just make it your mission to find medication that actually helps you, if that's your only goal in life right now because it's really apparent that the medication you're on right now istn't helping and you've just got to try everything there is to try (within limits).
What have you tried so far?
Denise

I've tried: zyprexa(still taking), Abilify, and Risperdal. That only leaves geodon and seroquel.
I just saw my doctor today, and even he didn't know what to say. He did say this. I'm paranoid, could take more zyprexa. I'm going about things all wrong, I showed him my personals ad.
I also have tried: depakote, celexa(still), prozac, bupropion(still). There was anouther one that gave me temporary TD, the strongest AP. I've also takin many more drugs in hospital, didn't even know what they were. And ECT, lots in the past.
Right now the paranoia has me stuck in the house, don't talk to any one.
Might just try taking more of what I already have, the zyprexa and lamictal(ya, forgot I take this one too.).
Weekends are real bad, especialy holidays. My life sucks, I know it, but won't change it.
But what should I realy do? Don't know if I liked the old me or not. Mainly drugs and drinking and parties since 16. I cleaned up 3 years ago. But one problem, that leaves me with nothing left to do, when I'm not working.
This is the end of the thread.
