Non-compliance. A word that would become synonymous with my name at the CMHT.
I begun to think I didn’t need medication anymore and the weight gain was getting me down. The Olanzapine was also so very sedative it made it hard to get through the day. As a result I started to miss medication and slowly the paranoia crept back in.
I was back at work but was soon signed off due to being psychotic. They asked if I would consider going on a depot but I refused. I held a view that the most unwell patients ended up on depot and I was not one of them.
