Some of you may remember my post 8 months ago about my adult son going crazy. If not, it's here.

Anyway, I had thought I (and of course, he) was out of the woods, but the early symptoms of psychosis seem to be returning ... lack of sleep, forgetting common words, texts and writing that nobody can understand, and some increasingly manic behavior that is still very minor compared to what happened last year.
Obviously I'm jumping on it, trying to nip it in the bud, using the same treatment we used before ... frequent nebulized hydrogen peroxide and ivermectin, although I'm still waiting for the overseas mail order ivm to arrive. (Using paste in the meantime.) I'm adding in some vitamin D and foods with magnesium, given that this is around the same time of year as his peak symptoms last year.
I don't want to lose him, he's a good kid with a good heart. Except that last year he was more like an uncontrollable werewolf without the fur and fangs, and thankfully without hurting anyone though he came close. I am loathe to use antipsychotics, they totally zombified him for a time, dimming his spirit and body with a soulless drooling zombie effect. It's scary that a tiny pill can do that to a person. Hopefully it won't come to that.
Please join me in praying to God for a full recovery.
Thank you all.
I went through psychosis. I tried a couple different SSRI meds that my old doctor prescribed me. They both gave me unbearable side effects, and I didn't take them very long. I started taking Adderall (unprescribed) until they didn't make me feel good anymore, and then stopped taking those. I was also discovering Q drops at this time (early 2018). I was able to successfully get my brother and my dad to look into some of the stuff I was learning. Unsuccessful with my wife or anybody else in my family. I went through psychosis for a short time. All of the meds I mentioned have side effects that can last long after you stop taking them (months or years even). The Q drops could have contributed. People thought we were crazy (some still do).
All of this occured in a 6 month time frame. I still am unsure which one, if any, or all, led to psychosis for me. After I was clean from all drugs for a few months, I got divorced and went through heavy depression. But I thank our Lord for helping me survive it. He helped me find a way to keep my feet moving and have faith that there was a reason to persevere.
I didn't mean to make this about me. I thought maybe these words will reach someone that can learn more about themselves or a family member. I pray the Lord brings you and your son serenity. Don't give up. Keep praying and wait for the blessings. God bless you and your family.
We have our share of normal crazy, too! By that I mean Q, and he also listens to a few prophetic voices that many would call crazy as well, but he comes from a good place on both counts.
I don't want to count on perseverance, but ... if it has to be that way, stories of successful perseverance are useful. Thank you.
No, thank you for sharing and being so patient with responses like mine. I'm honestly sorry. I can't speak for anyone but myself.
