It has begun. After years of being "quirky" and questions around intelligence and sanity, I'm being treated for psychosis.
For those who haven't read my blog before, I'll state again that my raison d'etre for writing this is to combat the stigma surrounding mental illness.
I'm now taking Quetiapine under direction from the Early Psychosis program. The low dosage is a good introduction and, so far, the side effects are pretty minor. The first day, I felt like a zombie with a hangover but now, day 3, I'm only feeling a little numb and kind of dopey. I'll probably be pretty free of side effects by the time the two weeks' trial period is up and they increase the dose.
Thank you to everyone who may decide to follow me on my journey. Perhaps together, we can make a small dent in the stigma.
