1 bro, 1 sis, 84 yr old mother for whom I am designated caregiver.  Love writing and reading poetry, painting, listening to many types of music, and vegging out in front of the TV.  I am a practicing Christian.  Love diet Cokes and garbanzo beans and ice cream.  I stay in semi-remission for a few months, then I relapse back into schizophrenia and/or depresion.  I've tried multiple antipsychotics and mood stabilizers and anxiolytics along with antidepressants.  Have had ECT treatments.  Took Zyprexa for 13 yrs it eventually helped with schizophrenia but the side effects were awful: weight doubled, zombieland 24x7, but it did keep me out of the hospital finally.  The Latuda just came out last year and has been a godsend in some ways, but again has objectional side effects -- anxiety, itching, and I probably need a stronger dose to adequately control symptoms.  But still, it is better than being a Zyprexa Zombie.
