I had many; thus the diagnosis. 4 years on antipsychotics has given me a taste of sanity as an adult and I won't forget the sane perspective in a hurry. Did you experience negative side effects of the Quetiapine? Were you keen to get off them or were you following medical advice VazScep?
There is an issue with doing this your self:
to illustrate:
A neurotic and a psychotic are snapping their fingers. The psychiatrist asks each why they are doing this. Both answer - to keep the lions away. The psychiatrist points out that there are no lions free in that country. The neurotic responds that he/she knows that but feels to compelled to continue the activity anyway. The psychotic that the finger snapping is working.
The point being - that by the time the paranoia becomes an issue - you won't recognise that it is occurring - you need an external unbiased observer.
