These are the symptoms that I had while on the drug that are still persisting :
I have no thoughts in my head, no emotions, no motivation, acne on my face, back, neck and arms, dry mouth, I can't feel when I'm hungry, full, thirsty, I can't even tell if I have to go to the bathroom. I can't get aroused and have sex. I never feel tired, or rested, I go to sleep, and I sometimes have insomnia, I close my eyes and have a dead zombie sleep. I have vivid dreams, wake up 3x in the morning and my heart is palpitating, drenched in sweat and I'm quite flatulent. I have major issues with my short term memory. I also suffer from depersonalization and derealization. Does anyone what have the issues with their sleep/wake cycles, the depersonalization and their bodily functions? I feel like the days are incredibly long and difficult to get thru. It's like I've lost the concept of time - I think this is b/c I have no thoughts in my head at all.
Since coming off the meds I've had occasional diarrhoea, no appetite, I struggle to get food and liquids down. I have to force myself to eat/drink. Some mild nausea, a sick dying feeling in my stomach. I've been having a few days of feeling hopeful, but otherwise, I have crushing depression and suicidal thoughts. Slight anxiety, ruminating thoughts - mostly negative, crying spells (which I think have resolved, I just get teary eyed on the days when I'm in despair).
Invegauser:
You said that you've recovered? There are not many ppl on here who seem like they've recovered. Or sounds as disabled as me.
I'm confused. So are mood swings a sign of waves and windows? Or ame I just in withdrawal?
You're right about these psyche drugs being prescribed for various things. I've seen antipsychotics be prescribed for; schizophrenia, bipolar, schizo affective disorder, OCD, autism, anxiety, depression, insomnia. The spectrum is quite horrific considering the damage that these meds cause.
