Recommended Posts

Hello everyone,I am Kush and I have been on antipsychotic medicine since 2012.....it all started due to mistreatment and abuses in my teen years which lasted for 7 yrs. It was not continuous though intermittent but very hursh to my mental health.  At the age of 19  in 2012 I took admission for undergraduate course in a another town. There  in rented room i was sad,numb,and sleepy all the time .l cant take it anymore so I my self told my parent to take me to either psychotherapist or psychiatrist. Treatment started and so does numbness and frozzen emotions  .In 2013  At that time doctor prescribed me 2-3 drugs one such was nexito-. Epscilopram i think so . In 2013 in 2nd yr I was in conflict with my batchmates as roommates and left alone in . Medicine of one kind 40mg and another  2mg was given to me . I once completely stop taking medicines in August of 2016 and it turned me like dumb and stupid and People started taking advantage of me and frequent quarrel happened with batchmates. In feb 2017 I cant take it any more so went to new doctor of checking.In a nutshell I say that my undergraduate period was hell made by my classmates to peace,support ,and guidance by my seniors and few good batchmates.In june

2017 I passed out from college and  Was taking schizophrenia medicine resperidone,about 2mg.after passout, My time in2017 was the best of my life happy ,cheerful ,confident, at peace, this lasted until june of 2019         I was taking 1mg from june 2018 to june 2019.         My doctor then tapered to 0.75mg from 1mg .I was facing high pressure during this time. This doctor had changed the brand of my generic medicine. So felt that also. From june 2019 to june 2020 I was suffering so much  all symptoms,all memories,all conflicts, messing my head. I told doctor to stick to previous brand of medicines and gradually the symptoms decrease,in dec. 2020 i tapered to 0.5 mg but in liquid form. Now april 2021 I feel quiet comfortable but headache sometimes continues and also old memories hurts and makes me emotional.

 

Will you please help me come out of this Resperidol . Also please do share  your feeling about the past memories coming often to you?? I want some tranquilizing herbs or supplements to keep me calm .please suggest me any .....

You are still taking 0.5mg? Here are our Tips for tapering off risperidone (Risperdal)

 

Do you get the headache at any particular times of day?

Perhaps you might do more gentle exercise at intervals throughout the day. This can help people recover from withdrawal symptoms. You have tapered too fast.

 

I would not make another reduction until these symptoms go away, and then go much more slowly, as in Tips for tapering off risperidone (Risperdal)

Today I met the doctor and i asked him tell the side effects of resperidone but he replied that there is no side effects to this med. And its all your disease coming back to you....so take this med its effect will lower your symptoms of schizophrenia........

He prescribed additional med Blonanserin 4 mg.  Please someone tell me about this new med. ,

Should I take this new med to cope with withrawals or just take resperidone and taper it as usual
