Hello , Does MDMA and amphetamine affect the recovery process and cause relapsing psychosis??
 
Hey guys,
An idea came to mind, and I thought that the best way to get rid of my Schizophrenia diagnosis is to lie to the psychiatric system that I did Cocaine before every hospitalization.
What do you guys think?
Is it worth the risk?

I mean, how could they prove or disprove it? How are you feeling these days?

I'm feeling fine, it's been 7 months since last Clopixol shot.
Weed high still didn't come back like after Xeplion.

I can tell you this, my psychiatrist and psychologist both told me that I'm at the top in terms of mental functioning and that they don't see Schizophrenia in me, they even told me that I appear to communicate normally.
So, if I say it was Cocaine, they will most likely believe me.

But I'm worried whether or not it's the right strategy...

Can you spot schizophrenia in people in day to day as long as they are not in an episode? How were you on the shots? Still functing the same or are you better now?

It would definitely hurt the trust between you and them, they did let you come off the injections after all. Definitely better to not have the diagnosis, but if you never have another episode again, I'd doubt it would matter with or without diagnosis, you'll just stay off the injections for life as long as they continue to trust you. A problem I could see if you get it removed, after a long time if you have another one, the person who gets to treat you then may have less information about what's going on

Trust me, a psychiatrist can see mental illness on people, even just the way they communicate.

I no longer obligated, meaning, I'm no longer on CTO.
And I'm planning to tell them it was Cocaine after I moved to the US, so even if they wanted to take action against me, they can't.
And it's not completely a lie, it was Kundalini induced psychosis every time, which causes an high like effect which is very similar to drug use.

What do you think?

Now you're off CTO, as long as you don't have another episode you won't be put back on CTO no? If you have another episode, you'll be automatically put back on one won't you? Regardless of if its on file as drug induced or not? I don't really know how that all works, but I personally would rather not have schizophrenia on my file than have it so.

I don't have drug induced in my file no.
And as long as I don't get hospitalized again, they can't put me back on CTO.

Would it be a good idea to tell them it was Cocaine every time?

And yes, it's better not to have this diagnosis at all.

Cant really answer if it would be a good idea or not. I would rather not have the diagnosis tho. The bigger problem would appear to be preventing another episode
 
Cocaine is difficult to test for though, unless the test is made shortly after using
yeah your right cocaine lasts up to a day or two while marijuana especially concentrate last for months. Maybe they can do urine tests ? havent had that done to me in my 3 hospitlizations
