Do drugs and liquer make schizophernia more bad?

The last time I used illegal drugs (28 years ago) I was hearing vocies and extremely paranoid. I haven't drank in 18 years. Alcohol is a depressant. I drank on top of my meds. I was sick until I stopped drinking. So in my opinion, yes, drugs and liquor make sz worse. I don't have any clinical proof, but I have life proof. I hope you find some clarity into your illness and addictions. Be well.

Hello bzm.

I've written about this before in a question someone asked about schizophrenia and marijuana use.

The short answer is, if you never wanted to recover from schizophrenia, a good bet for not being able to recover would be to use drugs and alcohol.

I'm on Geodon, and the prescribing label tells you not to drink while you're taking this atypical. 

Drinking and doing drugs if you have schizophrenia is "more bad" in every way.
