☼ rupa: Risperdal / risperidone victim


Recommended Posts

Thought 2020 is recovery from withdrawal.

Yes, withdrawal happened from brain and  lobes.

But later it started effecting body.

First thyroidectomy,now it's heart,ribs.

It seems withdrawal effects body parts.

Please do not rush for operations.

I should have wait taking guava,banyan etc ten kind of leaves in hot water which reduced my excessive red blood sells etc issues.

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.

Almost no symptoms and sleep is better,So started 0.5 ml from 17-12-2018.

"0"from31-12-18.Re birth happened from 10- 2020,as rejuvenation took whole2019.Completely recovered now.

Ever since reaching zero,sleep improved 

Gradually,no sign of dreams disturbing state.

It's evident some activity in the brain ,before waking up,but it's not even dream form.

Everything normal as before meds.

As I above mentioned,body parts effected ,but becoming normal with 

Natural remedies,back pain cured.

Heart discomfort cured with daily in take of buttermilk.

Thyroidectomy brought no discomfort.

A thyroid tablet for life,not an issue.

Entire body scan is clean.

Able to do fast whole day taking only liquids and processed dates few.

Evening meal taking with calcium and vitamin D tablets.

Sleep is very greatful.

It's evident recovery is  possible with brief discomfort for few years.

Patience fetches.

An update.

Medicine impact heals with time.

All the chaos will be for time being from the day an individual starts taking medicine.

Patience and bearing the time ,second by second,minute to minute,hour to  hour,day by day,will definitely lead before meds condition of the physical brain.

Thus ,handover yourself into the time and let float yourself in the barren space of the universe with mindful waiting to land back to your planet.

Bear,bear,bear,bear the time.

Healing is inevitable.

Know this truth and bear the fear and choas until you ,yourself teach others the truth.

Hi Rupa, I am also suffering the same effects from risperidone like you did. It started with insomnia after 6 weeks of taking the medicine, when I did sleep  I would go straight into dream mode. It is one of the reasons why I CT the medicine and also because of blank mind and anhedonia/emotional numbness. It's been almost 8 weeks since Ive CT but I still go straight to vivid dreaming, fortunately no nightmares. I also can't nap. My question to you is do you think the olanzapine helped you reset or would you have rathered healed naturally over time?

3mg Risperidone Mid May-July 8 2022.- 6 weeks

5mg Abilify only one time at hospital (July2022)

Haloperidol (Haldol) 5mg in the am 10mg at night. Started March 30,2023.

Not knowing what was all this terminology like cold turkey and these brain medication and all,I was waiting two months,but my sleep deteriorated by eight weeks.

Unable to find any help,I was caught up with high dose olanzapine.

thus,I am suggesting you to take small dose  olanzapine and tapper from there after one month of use.

Food suggestions at my thread  too helps.

Then please help fellow sufferers by witnessing, that small dose too brings out from past cold turkey damage.

 

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.

Almost no symptoms and sleep is better,So started 0.5 ml from 17-12-2018.

I can understand,I was there ,while i was tapering.

I was just living one day at a time, listening to the brain.

If my sleep got disturbed,i was Accepting the situation and keep walking within the home premises.

 

Those are the symptoms,that human brain greatly rejects the man made intervention in the name of medicine.

Psychology not related to physical brain.

Thus the physical  brain feels extreme disturbance,and makes an individual feel pain with all these symptoms.

Even though an individual in tapering,even a small minute dose of medicine get rejects by brain.

There is no other option than waiting with patience.

 

Simple,certain kind of low sound prayers helped me to listen,avoiding the sounds which  brain rejects.

There is this silent ignition sound and sensation at both sides of forehead ,right from the day one of the turmoil in 2016.

After six years,after a year gap- in between- still some plates been adjusting ,hopefully -final adjustment-been suffering dreams from two days with good sleep though,(such dreams were in my memory from my childhood)along with silent ignition once- in an afternoon rest today.

I have experimented with coffee,could successfully taper by taking minute amounts for a while.

Which means no matter ,how many meds an individual on,no matter how big the dose,if tapered by one at time with minute doses ,while on other drugs,but last one ,with surviving antidepressants suggestions,slow taper?

Because,that's what I did.

If caffeine can be tapered sudden change to minute doses for certain time,per se a month,an anti depressant too?

I did this to COVID patients who were on antidepressants they came out by next month tapering this way.

But already cold terkeyed  people ,tapering very slow will heal properly as they had to go through insomnia.

I am fully recovered,a symptom still occured once,may be last attempt of plates adjusting inside,that's a kind of silent ignition sense,which was occuring all the time back then.

Absolutely,my method of tappering is life saving.

Here is the explain:

Below method helped me,

Brain takes a four week interval or a cycle of time to adopt change in slow process.

1)Thus,it is very important to maintain a dose for four weeks.

2) It is important to give small ,little,and  minute  changes monthly once 

 

Other people who followed my other method to come out from the medicine which used at the time of covid 

A) stopping medicine upto eight days or earlier until brain starts feeling withdrawal,once the feel of brain collapse occurs , immediately giving minute dose for one month ,and then stopping 

B) this method works when person on single medicine

Otherwise  my way of taper which mentioned as 1)2) helps

Thought 2020 is recovery from withdrawal.

Yes, withdrawal happened from brain and  lobes.

But later it started effecting body.

First thyroidectomy,now it's heart,ribs.

It seems withdrawal effects body parts.

Please do not rush for operations.

I should have wait taking guava,banyan etc ten kind of leaves in hot water which reduced my excessive red blood sells etc issues.


You’re likely suffering from drug incited functional neurological disorder. Must work with trauma therapist and manage stress. It jumps from one thing to another, if past trauma is not resolved. 
 

The drug only incites it and fires it up, it’s the past trauma and chronic mental stress that keeps it going.

 

 It’s the neurological equivalent of PTSD and a mind-body disorder.

Good news is you can recover completely. 
 

Why drugs incite it? Your guess is as best as mine. Probably the drugs cause additional trauma and stress on an already traumatized and stressed brain and it can’t take no more. It throws neurological symptoms as a stop button!!

Complete natural brain ,which the way behaving from childhood,until starting of meds ,which always strives to make home environment peaceful,in function

 

Which is evident recovery is possible

 

Do not rush to fall into medications for temporary diagnosis of thyroid malfunction etc any other organ malfunction 

 

Using green vegetables will bring back all body functions to natural state 

 

Give oppurtunity in life only real and genuine people

 

Do not talk online anonymous with anybody

Light every where

( Light at the end of the tunnel)

 

Soon ,It's been eight years

taking first risperidone 

 

Last week 

 

There is this sudden sensation that at the core of the brain anatomy to upper lobe at the scalp,there is this sensation,that won't hurts too much,but slight to severe discomfort and slight to severe  dizziness kind of feel in the head and body 

 

After fouty eight hours slowly subsided and after a week it still at the core of the brain which means exact inner middle field of the head 

 

It's no other withdrawal as I didn't ever take caffeine or other substances which brings withdrawal

 

Then i remember,after each lobe settling back to normal,this field is what ,missing so far 

 

So 

This is it ?

Hopefully this must be

it

to prove that human interference with God's creation can be dedicated to only to bring healing and repair

 

What new thing I had recent months  which might helped to get cleanse of

the very core of the brain 

 

?

 

Turmeric in little more quantity ( 1/4 to 1)

and brown rice with lot of spinach and garlic 

 

Thus 

 

These ingredients for sure helped 

 

It's all

these eight years are 

very heart warming to identify self 

 

How beautiful and wonderful thy creation 

 

Hope God will  bestow on

on mankind that every being

could able to recognise God's 

presence 

 

here within self 

 

right from birth and childhood

 

thus to grow up as humanbeing 

 

May complete peace and harmony

prevail with mother Earth,

God's loving creation, 

unto eternity

 

God bless
