Mental Health Antipsychotic and antidepressant witbdrawal

[Zephyn]

I am in withdrawal from quitting rameron, Zyprexa, and seroquel cold turkey like 10 days ago. Well stopped the seroquel yesterday. The rameon and Zyprexa likely from the 5ht2a action are giving me lsd like visuals or suddenly resurged my hppd like its 2012 again. But immense dysphoria that I remember lasting months last time I did this. This fucking sucks! Is there any way to reset it? What about high dose psilocybin? In a few weeks, now would be a recipe for disaster. Unfortunately I can't use cannabis due to living in a halfway house

I think likely your best bet would be to not quit cold turkey like that.

Your always gonna have a better time withdrawing if you titrate the dose down instead of jumping off everything all at once.

What was your reason for quitting the meds?

I gained 50 lbs in a month, and id like to be able to use psychedelics. But anyway, last night I took seroquel and felt 80% better. Think I'm thru most of it

It would be wise to taper off slowly, especially coming off multiple meds. I don't think there's a quick fix in this situation. Psilocybin could readily send you into psychosis...! If you're in a halfway house then I'm assuming you have had a significant addiction. It's easy to let that part of us make decisions. No quick fixes.

Maybe at least coordinate tapering off wiht your provider?

I believe in the power of the will. While that is a ton of weight, I'm convinced that you can alter your behavior to work it off or not rely on food as much.

I'm actually feeling a lot better, think I'm through the worst of the mirtazapine and olanzapine withdrawal, though im still slightly off.. although ever since I added the seroquel back I feel a ton better. Going to work with a provider to work out a proper taper in a month or so
