Now my relationship with them is bad because of my delusion. In fact now, they're really out to get me. It's reality now. So, it's not a delusion anymore I guess. But I think I can realize what they do is on purpose, what is not now compare to I used to think everything they do is on purpose in the past. One of the ways you can find out if you are really delusional or not is to up your dose to where you were not delusional April 2020 Zuclopenthixol decanoate quetiapine,sertraline 150 mg march or april 2021 st john worth (highest strenght),nicotine 2021 tapered Quetiapine once a month reductions 300mg, 200mg ,100 , april 50 mg stopped Cold turkey, april st john worth May sertraline 150 mg, st john worth (highest strenght),nicotine,loratadine may:experienced symtoms i never had before treatment (intense delusion,intense paranoia) Rehospitalization Sertraline 150 mg stopped cold turkey during rehospitalization Zuclopenthixol decanoate depot injection (in june)2021 and restarted 400 mg,200mg quetiapine.curently tapering.On 263mgpw(taken 2x day) May neuroplasticity help me finalize the taper safely Link to comment

While I found a 'rescue dose', or temporary increase for one night, useful maybe three times during my whole taper, olanzapine is very sedative so it's quite a different proposition to suggesting people take more aripiprazole etc, which may induce more anxiety. Even with the olanzapine, quetiapine etc those rescue doses might mean more akathisia for a bit. It's really best to minimise dosage changes.

I don't know much about this specific drug myself but am not aware of any reason why the usual tapering methods we suggest here shouldn't allow a successful completion. Remember especially with APs, you need to be ready to address unresolved issues that the drug has been keeping a damper on, as you come off it, typically with some appropriate kind of therapy. I didn't know of many people at all who had come off olanzapine ok but a lot more started coming out of the woodwork the further I got.

Moderator hayduke Posted April 22, 2022 Moderator Share Posted April 22, 2022 Usually comes in 1kg boxes here. 3 baths out of a box works well here. For whatever reason maybe genes my body can't really get enough Mg but it's not the same for everyone. Sometimes daily seems called for maybe twice a week others. Another thing to take charge of in your taper, start with a bit, build up if it's going ok and as always listen to your body and make necessary adjustments.

Moderator hayduke Posted April 24, 2022 Moderator Share Posted April 24, 2022 Try 15 minutes instead. If you get headaches and diarrhoea, you've taken too much. You can't really "overdose" but often a good lie down afterwards is in order. A good sign your nerves are relaxing, which is kind of the point. Many people favour this in the evening before bed.

As with anything if it makes you feel worse then it is too much. It might have been too much and/or you soaked in it for too long. When trying anything new it is better to start with a small amount to see how it affects you. If you take too much magnesium by mouth it can cause diarrhea.

You might have sat at 1/40th for a month and be overwhelmed by anxiety. Would you say you were ready to jump then? Nothing tests your patience like tapering, but it's a great skill to learn all round. So that means when i will be on 2.5mg quetiapine ,that dose might still occupy 25 percent of receptors? ,that s so crazy No wonder i ended with supersensitivity psychosis from ct 50 mg quetiapine April 2020 Zuclopenthixol decanoate quetiapine,sertraline 150 mg march or april 2021 st john worth (highest strenght),nicotine 2021 tapered Quetiapine once a month reductions 300mg, 200mg ,100 , april 50 mg stopped Cold turkey, april st john worth May sertraline 150 mg, st john worth (highest strenght),nicotine,loratadine may:experienced symtoms i never had before treatment (intense delusion,intense paranoia) Rehospitalization Sertraline 150 mg stopped cold turkey during rehospitalization Zuclopenthixol decanoate depot injection (in june)2021 and restarted 400 mg,200mg quetiapine.curently tapering.On 263mgpw(taken 2x day) May neuroplasticity help me finalize the taper safely Link to comment

For the quetiapine or seroquel, on 100mg, there isn't so much working on D2 dopamine receptor(the D2 occupancy at 100mg is not high)which is the receptor that relates to the symptom you mentioned "supersensitivity psychosis". At 100mg, I think quetiapine is majority working at H1 Histamine receptor and some A1 and 5ht2.

Felix Posted January 2 Author Share Posted January 2 Off Geodon since Aug 2022. Almost over 1 year. Thanks for everyone helps me here. Sorry for the late update. Also there is a interesting story, on about September 2023, 10 to 12 police came to my home, and said, "Hey, you have stopped all your meds, are you angry. Do you want to hurt others?" I answered them, "Never, Sir." then they left. I hope you feel better and better, Hay. New journey and New story is waiting for me, also you. by Felix 2014 high dose of Geodon 400mg.

New journey and New story is waiting for me, also you. by Felix Please take extra care over the next year. That is a lot of police. I am glad you were able to assure them. I would suggest taking things really easy for the next year or two. I am sure my intent to sue my abusive family led to a stronger counter response. I would suggest self care and taking some time instead. Glad to hear you are doing well there. I am not a health professional - your actions are your own.
