Thank you risperdalhater.

What are you using for sleep?

Cold turkeyed risperidone (1m.g)and trihexyphenidyl combination drug out of ignorance,In August 2016 after one month use.

Withdrawal symptoms settled at dreamful,disturbing sleep.

Thus introduced to olanzapine for sleep.Started using olanzapine out of ignorance.

Tapering olanzapine 10 m.g from February 2017.

May 2018 :Still suffering dreams,Still tapering olanzapine at 0.625.100ml water+2.5 mg olanzapine. June 2018 22.5ml=0.57mg.July 2018 20ml,August 2018-17.5ml,September 2018-15ml,October 2018 10 ml,December 2018 7 ml, BrassMonkey slide method so far at lower doses.2 nd December cold turkeyed , only to reach minure doses as reinstatement to cutshort endless tapering process.4rth December started 1ml.

one can use melatonin to help with sleep. magnesium also helps.

In March 2016 i suffered from a paranoia/schizophrenic episode which resulted in me taking risperidone/risperdal 3mg for about 3 weeks along with a couple 7mg long acting injections.  i had an intense withdrawal after stopping cold turkey and i have been off risperidone ever since then.

risperdalhater,

Did you experience dreams when you were in withdrawal?

Are you still experiencing dreams?

How are you coping up with sleeplessness due to brain going into dream condition when you attempt to sleep?

Hi Rupa I'm not sure if we met before ,I was reading a bit of a post on virgos thread ,you were going on about dreaming and getting no sleep,this is a great point you make ,I've always thought I was lucky I get my sleep but Im so stupid and cognitively destroyed by these drugs I have totally missed this .

I have extremely vivid dreams  so I'm traumatised in my dreams .

Have you done much research do you believe it settles down .

Hi rupa it just came to me that I've listened to carl young about dreams and he reckons its a good thing to analyse the dreams .That's why I wasn't worried about them ,but maybe I should .

I realise if we are staring at the ceiling ,that's no sleep ,but if your dreaming with eyes closed ,do u put that in the same boat .

it comes down to REM sleep I suppose .I must look up scientific research on it .

I do have a lot of the same dreams/nightmares happening     and its connected to certain situations ,this must be connected to the same connections in the brain as PTSD .

If you are getting good quality of sleep then you need not worry about your dreams.

In my case:

I was getting dreams as soon as I was attempting to sleep.

Thus I had to open eyes and I was not able to sleep further.

I suffered 60 days before starting to use olanzapine.

After researching on internet ,I have decided there is no time limit to cure my symptoms naturally ,as poetjester suffering from 4 years.

So I decided to use olanzapine,as it is working wonders for my problem.

At the dose of 2.5 mg of olanzapine I was still dreaming.

So I have settled at 5 mg of olanzapine.

I am using Pacitane 2 mg after breakfast ,not to have any side effects from olanzapine.

But,there is an unknown fear inside me, of using such kind of medicine which I cannot stop when ever I want.

Ok rupa  60 days that's a pain for you ,in the last 7 months I've only had 2 sleepless nights so I wont worry and it was connected to serious anxiety spiral .

Thanks again rupa and hope you well .

Sorry for the late response, yes i did experience dreams during withdrawal.  I have dreams normally.

In March 2016 i suffered from a paranoia/schizophrenic episode which resulted in me taking risperidone/risperdal 3mg for about 3 weeks along with a couple 7mg long acting injections.  i had an intense withdrawal after stopping cold turkey and i have been off risperidone ever since then.

Dear Friends,

Risperidone cold turkey altered my brain.I was unable to sleep soundly.If I close eyes I was drifting into dream state instead of sleep state.

With olanzapine 5 m.g, I am experiencing very low-intensity dreams only early in the morning, before waking up.

My sleep is very good with 5m.g olanzapine.

Once I experience no dreams at all, then I will start tapering olanzapine at 10%  every 4 weeks.

It's been one year I am still experiencing dreams.

Risperidone cold turkey permanently altered my sleep state?

Time only will answer.

May be after 5 years my dreams will stop and I will be able to taper olanzapine.

And I will become drug-free.Touchwood.

I cold turkey'd risperidone and my brain recovered completely although it was a painful experience.  Don't worry about permanent damage, it will take time to recover, maybe over a year, maybe longer.  Personally i do not know how people even have the willpower to stay on sedatives or anti-depressants, there are so many better natural solutions that even have all around health benefits too.

In March 2016 i suffered from a paranoia/schizophrenic episode which resulted in me taking risperidone/risperdal 3mg for about 3 weeks along with a couple 7mg long acting injections.  i had an intense withdrawal after stopping cold turkey and i have been off risperidone ever since then.

Dear Risperdalhater

I am very glad you are recovered.

My damage was physical.

When I was dreaming it was effecting on my breath and heart.

There was no sleep at all.

Some times dreams were horrible and auditory.(characters talking with me).

Which was effecting full day.

I know about so many members here,who are facing withdrawal effects for so many years,for example poetjester etc.

I know about members who thought they were recovered but they had to see the doctor again for new problems of the brain.

So I decided to use olanzapine for my condition.

I know I am dealing with two faced knife.

Thus I tried tapering.see my signature.

I could not bear the symptoms after complete taper.

So I had to start olanzapine again.

In this way at least my life is extended.

Hopefully,after few years I will be able symptoms free,and olanzapine free as well.

URGENT REQUEST Please consider submitting  for the petition on Prescribed Drug Dependence and Withdrawal currently awaiting its third consideration at the Scottish Parliament. You don't even have to be from Scotland. By clicking on the link below you can read some of the previous submissions but be warned many of them are quite harrowing.

http://www.parliament.scot/GettingInvolved/Petitions/PE01651   

Please tell them about your problems taking and withdrawing from antidepressants and/or benzos.

Send by email to petitions@parliament.scot and quote PE01651 in the subject heading. Keep to a maximum of 3 sides of A4 and you can't name for legal reasons any doctor you have consulted. Tell them if you wish to remain anonymous. We need the numbers to help convince the committee members we are not isolated cases. You have until mid February. Thank you

None of the published articles shed light on what ssri's ... actually do or what their hazards might be. Healy 2013. 

This is so true, with anything you get on these drugs, dependance, tapering, withdrawal symptoms, side effects, just silent. And if there is something mentioned then their is a serious disconnect between what is said and reality! 

  "Every time I read of a multi-person shooting, I always presume that person had just started a SSRI or had just stopped."  Dr Mosher. Me too! 

Over two decades later, the number of antidepressant prescriptions a year is slightly more than the number of people in the Western world. Most (nine out of 10) prescriptions are for patients who faced difficulties on stopping, equating to about a tenth of the population. These patients are often advised to continue treatment because their difficulties indicate they need ongoing treatment, just as a person with diabetes needs insulin. Healy 2015

I believe the ssri era will soon stand as one of the most shameful in the history of medicine. Healy 2015

Let people help people ... in a natural, kind, non-addictive (and non-big pharma) way. J Broadley 2017

I asked twice about sleep.

I didn't get answer that nothing he is using!

It seems ,he went on benzos ,once they pooped out,not answering.

I am spending time on this thread by thinking that people with same symptoms will get some help.

Not that some time passers will show all their frustration here without even see my signature and thread.

It's been a year risperidone cold turkey.

How ignorant I am.

If I tapered I wouldn't have seen this hell.

It's been a year ,still horrible symptoms.

Today I couldn't bear the dream content.

I googled.

It's called hypnopompic hallucinations.

:(

Olanzapine is working wonders.

It is saving from left side brain pain,heart and breath problem, sleeplessness,high intensity of dream.

Cold turkeyed risperidone (1m.g)and trihexyphenidyl combination drug out of ignorance,In August 2016 after one month use.

Withdrawal symptoms settled at dreamful,disturbing sleep.

Thus introduced to olanzapine for sleep.Started using olanzapine out of ignorance.

Tapering olanzapine 10 m.g from February 2017.

Take 250 ml glass(Tumblr)take half quantity curds ,beat the curds and then remaining quantity fill with water.

Drinking this at bed time increasing the quality of sleep and reducing the intensity of hypnopompic hallucinations.

Dear rupa, I don't think you will start letting your body heal until you go totally drug free. I believe that you are still using a psychiatric drug olanzapine which is as toxic as any other psychiatric drug on the market . Unfortunately, to heal from the drugs you took it in the past , you will have to suffer from the withdrawal nightmare and then one day , you will see that withdrawal symptoms will lessen in intensity or may be go away entirely . And if you are happy to take it olanzapine , then this site is probably not for you because this forum is for people who are either tapering or have tapered off their A.d drugs or went cold turkey and recovering from the years of taking dangerous drugs prescribed by their doctors.

remeron for four and half months. 15 mg for 3 months and 4 days and 7.5 mg for 27 days. After a month later of experiencing withdrawal  , restarted taking remeron again at 15 my for 2 days, 7.5 mg for 1 day and 6 mg for 7 days.

Dear kara100

I went through your thread.

Very sorry that you are going through such pain.

Please see my signature.

I was tapering olanzapine from January 2017.

Unfortunately I had to reinstate.

I am letting my CNS system to stabilize to start taper again.

Very soon I will start taper again.

Thank you.

Agreed. these drugs are very unhealthy to the mind and body and people should get off of them asap, there are better ways to deal with psychosis and whatever.

In March 2016 i suffered from a paranoia/schizophrenic episode which resulted in me taking risperidone/risperdal 3mg for about 3 weeks along with a couple 7mg long acting injections.  i had an intense withdrawal after stopping cold turkey and i have been off risperidone ever since then.

It's got nothing to do with willpower, u r wrong.  A/D and A/P are a trap, you take them or maybe they force you and you go into a trap.

I see it  a little differently willpower doesn't come into it, its got to do with medication spellbinding, trapping people in an addictive mindnumbing world.  

 

i agree 100%. my apologies.

I have no guts to face these dreams and sleeplessness.

I know olanzapine will kill me in long run.

Without olanzapine I die now with these fearful dreams,breath shortage,heart ache and sensations, sleeplessness.

You will not die without zyprexa on these dreams. I have them already almost three years (two of them drug free), they get better with the time, but Zyprexa is one of the worst drugs ever, for me comparable to cyankali (I dont know the English word, it is used for killing the bugs on the fields), zyprexa can really “kill you“ in the long run, rather stop it sooner than later, Rupa

I dont know. But you are not psychotic, are you? Because Zyprexa should be against psychosis or schizophrenia.

 

Maybe ask your doctor. I know only long term you stand much better here without Zyprexa than with it. The people who take it long term die 20 years earliee than others.

I had paranoid hallucinations .So I used risperidone.

Risperidone cold turkey made me sleepless and dreams.

If I taper olanzapine,will I get paranoid again?
