drat, HP that sounds rough. I've got a family member that's paranoid schizophrenic; fine when he's on meds, but after a while he either feels too zonked out or since he's felt fine for a while on them, he decides he doesn't need them anymore.

Seconding that you should call police or a hospital/psychiatric service. It might sound harsh, but drat this gal sounds like a 5150 would do everyone a world of good.

Is your family member my family member? My BIL is also paranoid schizophrenic, and he's currently off his meds because he "feels fine." We're all waiting for him to hit crisis because there's literally nothing we can do, and yesterday he fished a bunch of empty water bottles out of my recycling so he can build a "flotation device, or maybe a kite or all terrain vehicle" so we know it's soon.

At least he's hoarding water bottles and not cum this time.

Communism will help more white people than anyone else. Any equal measures unfairly provide less to minority populations just because there's less of them. Democracy is truly the tyranny of the mob.

Thinking the medicine works like a cure and they don't need to take it anymore seems to be a trend in schizophrenia specifically

Most people take medicine to feel better. Not taking the medicine usually makes them feel bad. Most people keep taking their medicine because they csn feel it working and if they stop they feel sick again

Psych meds often work the other way around, where taking the meds makes you feel bad and not taking them has no immediate discomfort associated with it. And when you get sick again it often messes with your insight so you don't realize you're sick


This is super common for psychiatric conditions and it really sucks to watch. And sadly, the lawa say you can't just force people to take medication unless they're a threat. Thanks weird 70s hippies

This is true, but they also have a whole host of physical side effects that make people feel physically terrible, and compared to that the psych stuff often doesn't feel as bad.

In my BIL's case, he's nauseated pretty much 24/7 while medicated, but it also focuses him and forces him to realize his problems, so ditching the meds means he doesn't want to barf all the time and he can be blissfully ignorant of the fact that he's ill until the voices in his head stop being fun buds of fancy (water bottle flotation device) and start telling him to turn himself in to the cops because if he doesn't, he might hurt someone.

until the day we can identify and eliminate the specific imbalances of brain chemistry and abnormal brain structure that causes the symptoms, all you can do is put a band aid on the problem and hope their next episode doesn't get anyone seriously harmed.

this is true of bipolar, BPD (although that has more to do with behavioral therapy) and a host of other mental issues.


course, the day medicine figures that out, we are going to have a hell of an time trying to figure out what a normal brain looks like. also mind control is a bad thing.

Yeah, psychotropics, mood stabilizers, and antidepressants can have lovely side effects. I've been on and off them for years, with bad side effects w/out any/enough positive results. I've gone off meds at times because the side effects were so bad (and a time when a doctor prescribed me two meds in combination and I had a near-fatal reaction). I just get withdrawn and apathetic and hopeless when I get into one of those ruts.

I think another issue is that prescribing doctors don't have the time/take the time to discuss possible problems or side effects, plus people react to different meds/doses in different ways. I've had to give up on meds before that otherwise benefited me because of crazy poo poo like, hyperhydrosis, getting faint and collapsing if I stood up too fast, and uncontrollable hand tremors.

Last med I was put on was Latuda. Doctor told me it was perfectly safe, I looked through everything about side effects online and nothing really popped out as concerning. Turns out after only two and a half months it spiked my cholesterol to dangerously high levels. They advertise it on TV now, and when they do the 'possible side effects include' it now says that in 'rare occasions' it can gently caress up blood lipid levels. Hooray.

I mean, I get why people will and do go off psych meds; I've given up plenty of times, but how someone gets once any beneficial effect is out of their system is a gamble.

Is that a burden of proof type thing? HP clearly knows it's his ex, but Maybe the police can't (or won't?) go by word alone.

I have a friend whose ex would come by in the dead of night before garbage pickup and go through her trash bags, and some mornings there would be chalk messages written on the pavement by her car. She contacted police about it, but a real whole lotta nothing got done.

But given HP has not only photo evidence of roadkill and dolls and a horror show of texts/voicemails/etc, I'd hope that will amount to something.

Hang in there, Harakiri Potter!

That's rough, dude. I honestly don't know where my uncle is these days. Last saw him almost six years ago. He falls off the grid a lot, but I was terrified of him when I was around 12. He'd call the house constantly, usually around the time I was home from school but my parents weren't home from work, would ramble all this crazy poo poo while constantly pausing and repeating my name in a very particular way. I started unplugging the phone until my parents came home.

We once received a card containing a ziploc baggies of loose AAA batteries, a crumpled five dollar bill, and the message 'You'll know what to do'.

Hope things work out in your BIL's/family's case. And oh God, I hope your last sentence was facetious...

I wasn't for this coupling until now. Maybe we can convince Lowtax to open a subforum just for the two of them to post in? No one else can post there, but everyone can view it. HP can mod it. It really is an elegant solution to a problem that doesn't exist yet.

This is seriously hosed up dude and I'm concerned. Can't the police enforce a restraining order? Can't you call someone to say she's harassing you and is, like.... well it sounds like she needs some serious loving help. As entertaining and funny as it is, it's also pretty sad and scary.
