My medications have been taking a toll on my brain or my mind.
The Haldol has been causing cognitive dysfunction within my brain. I can’t think straight, I can’t comprehend what to other people are saying, I can’t understand some of the most simple of things. All because of the Haldol. Antipsychotics are a hell of a drug. They are a hell of a class of drugs meant to rule your mind.
Lately, I haven’t been able to keep up with small tasks like taking care of my animals/pets. Taking them out? I
forget. Feeding them? I forget. It seems almost scatter-brained. That’s the best word I could come up with.
Scatter-brained:

I am scatterbrained for the time being. Under the control of so many medications, I dont know where my mind is going to, or where it’s headed. I need a 5 year long term plan.
I started this blog to share my experiences with Schizophrenia and being in the American mental health system. Since then I have made big strides with the help of people around me. You can read about my background on the "About Moze" page. A few paragraph summary of my past and recent life. You can also see what medications I have went through in "Medications". Also, check out my "Goals" page for my most recent accomplished goals!

I agree, antipsychotics are a hell of a drug. I’m on a pretty large dose of Seroquel, and I forget to do things like eating. I have gotten on the wrong bus a few times and have found myself in an unfamiliar part of town.
