An emergency plan for schizophrenia relapse

Abstract

I have had schizophrenia since 2002. I am stable on Risperidone 2–4 mg and Citralopram. The following will describe my perceptions and how I learned to deal with them. Even though on medication, I still experience occasional positive symptoms. I will present my symptoms, what I tried and what did not help, and will then go on to present my nutritional approach in dealing with this illness as well as my personal emergency response plan, which I developed over the years to be better able to cope with relapses.
