swordiebrom 4 mg Risperidone/80mg lurasidone recovery?

[swordiebrom]

After 6 months tapering on 4mg risperidone and 1 month on 80mg lurasidone,I guess I am the minority that didn't suffer any withdrawal . However, the side effect of the medicine like weight gain and loss of emotions slowly got better after 2-5 months but I didn't lose all my weight from eating too much while on medicine

 

Also lost my sexual urges while on meds and regain them after a month, ate a lot of broccoli,salmon,bananas and fish oil while I was recovering

 

My case was kind of special because I had some illogical beliefs but did not suffer from ANY hallucination at all (both auditory and visual),these beliefs stemmed from me being paranoid and were gone after I had a logical discussion with my doctor and nurses so I decided to stop the medication with the doctors approvals

 

And throughout my recovery,I didnt do much exercising,just eating balanced diets and playing computer games all day

swordie, thanks for coming back. When did you take your last dose of risperidone and lurasidone?

 

How long were you on each drug?

[swordiebrom]

6 months on risperidone,1 month on lurasidone. I went 6 months without risperidone then took lurasidone at the start of this year

[Altostrata]

How did you feel after taking lurisidone? How did you go off?

Is anxiety a withdrawal symptom cause by the drug or a sign of the illness relapsing? From googling there seems to be results saying anxiety is caused by illness

Please Sir, do you have anything like brain shakes, It feels like a hammer bang at the back of my skull, like my brain bounces around in wide my head and my upper body shakes when I’m laid down / please I did stopped cold turkey. Thinking of reinstating if is going to stop this symptoms. Thank you and congratulations on your success

I had that feeling except it was in my temples. I had massive headaches for months. Like the worst liquor hangover over and over all day for months. I now get very minor discomfort from headaches and they come very seldom. Henry can you update you signature ?

It’s your drug history. It gets posted beneath your messages, so people know your past. A mod will be able to help you out. I always have to find the walk through when I update mine.
