I have a couple concerns,questions,uncertainities,etc
I dont know if its the right sub.
Its like 1 year already that ive stopped taking antipsychotics (I had to take them bcs I thought I had "Mania" while I dont even have Bipolar dispenser after all, im a completely mentally healthy person. I basically admitted myself to the hospital as as mistake, that happened in februari 2020). I thought I was going crazy, but im sane!
I took 4/5 different ap's during a span of 4 months. I telt drowsy,maybe even cognitively impaired (maybe the stress made me anxious about the med, the anxiety causing a negative thought loop leading to thinking I was cognitively impaired xD or I exactly "was")
I have a couple of questions
-I did a blood test in september -> turned out I had high levels of tryglicerides, I also gained a couple of pounds/kilo's in weight. Does that go away with weight loss and abstaining of antipsychotics?
-Do most side effects go away in a couple of days/weeks (based on the length youve been on them)
-I read that these antipsychotics cause brain damage,etc
Does that reverses in normal again (the brain) if stopping the antipsychotics?
Yeah here are my questions basically.
