I had post natal psychosis 16 yrs ago, my son is now 16 and at college, he is doing well. I think maybe I have perimenopause psychosis, anyone on here had that? I am on a lot of medication including zopiclone (which does nothing), aripiprazole etc. Psych wants to increase my anti psychotic but I think this is not the answer, 16 yrs ago I was lucky to get bed in Priory mother and baby unit.
Psych and CPN both do not agree with me, am feeling down that I cannot get them to listen to me.
Hello Sylfran
Welcome to the forum where you will find lots of support and advice. It's good to hear your son is doing well, you must be very proud.
I'm sorry to hear you think you might have perimenopausal psychosis but that your psychiatrist and CPN do not agree. There have been a few posts on the forum about this, one being from Rose89 entitled "Perimenopause and repeat episodes". You can search for this in the box on the right of this page or one of the other mums might give you the link. There are a few replies with good links, one being a mum's personal experience, so I hope this might be helpful to you.
Please take care of yourself and perhaps talk to your GP if you are feeling down so that he can listen to your concerns. We are all here to support you.
