Mental Health Coming Off Vraylar (cariprazine), Rexulti (brexpiprazole), or Abilify (aripiprazole)

At this point, it's difficult to tell if the pressure that built up inside my body was solely caused by coming off Vraylar or if there were other factors. My guess is the former is more accurate.

I saw a chiropractor yesterday who was able to relieve some of the pressure in my bones and noticed immediate difference in my driving. I had been previously unable to drive long distances because of pressure problems.

Last night I woke up sweating profusely. This reminds me of when I was only about a year off vraylar. I began sweating profusely at night making it difficult to sleep at all. Though it's not a stage I necessarily want to go through again, it's a good sign that I'm nearer to my goal.
 
Today i feel more satisfied overall compared to yesterday.
Yesterday i had those weird cramp-want to throw up like symptoms.
Today it was pretty relaxed.
Can't waste a day when the night brings a hearse.
 
I started an opend end fast (want to lower my bodyfat to 10%.
I am in Day 3. I have no hunger.
I felt relativeley good in the morning today. Now i feel bored. Dopamine receptors are still relatelively disfunctional and i am experiencing mood swings.
I have anhedonia from time to time, but it is getting in the right direction.
 
I am on Vraylar.

I have come off it twice cold turkey. I WOULD NOT RECOMMEND THIS, always taper.

I have cold sweats, hot sweats, and lots of anxiety/paranoia.

I even heard things/saw things that I hadn't in a long time. My auditory and visual hallucinations are rare, and most of the time related to drug use, but coming off of Vraylar triggered something to where they were several times a day. It was very scary. That's why I'm probably going to choose to be on Vraylar for life.
 
I've been practicing qi gong to make the rest of my transition into normalhood smoother. As I currently stand, I am fighting off the last of my infection. I should be back to normal in less than two weeks.
 
I am on my Day 5 of fasting.
Lost already a significant amount of fat.
Today was the first day, that i had to take a shit, although i didn't eat during the last days. I hope that some of that toxic came came out of it together.
I am also experiencing heavy mood swings since yesterday.
I can be happy at some time, but sometimes i can't. I am reaching the 1 Month mark of coming off of Vraylar.
Probably still 1 -1,5 months to go until it is outta my system.
 
Fasted for 24 hours. I'm certain the infection that I had is now "dead". It will take some time to get my energy flowing in the right direction, but I am managing this through my own means.

My energy is coming back as I persuade it to move in the right direction. Some of the symptoms I am experiencing in my recovery are too bizarre to describe, but it sometimes feels as if I am becoming lighter on my feet. My balance is better too. Much of the infection reached my ears, so it's no surprise my balance was thrown off.

As for Vraylar, I have no compelling evidence that it is still at work in my system. I think my lack of Kundalini energy is from fighting this infection. Or, another way of putting that is, the energy from my kundalini is busy managing the last of the infection and therefore it's difficult to access for things like energy work.

Good luck to everyone coming off this drug and for others who are fortunate or unfortunate enough to find themselves here.
 
Day 7 of my water fast.
Well on one side, i feel good because of the fast itself. I can feel the benefits like loosing excess weight and mental clarity. On the other hand the affect of vraylar in my body makes me feel bad.
Also my motivation is still low and concentration span has diminished.
I am moody and have belly cramps.
Overall i would say i feel intoxicated by Vraylar. Dirty drug.
 
Today another wave hit me hard. It is like i can feel no satisfaction in what i am doing. No dopamine working, no clear mind. Belly cramps, pressure in the head.
At least i am losing weight.

Hang in there.

Today I tackled a major blockage, in my spine; the pressure release felt great, but there's still a lot of healing I need to do.
 
Today is the day 10 of my fasting.
I feel so sluggish today i don't know why. Maybe it is because of the weather.
I am lying in my bed for most of the time.
I still have throwing up like feelings.
I feel overall unable to find peace for the last 3 days. I feel very unbalanced.
I think the effects of Vraylar are still in charge after 1 month and 4 days.
It is miserable.
 
My infection has been diminished to the point where I am no longer experiencing symptoms of energy moving away from it's natural course or direction. At this point, I can finally drive again. For some reason the symptoms were worst when driving places.
 
Today was my 13 Day of fasting. I used to crave food badly in the last few days but i stood strong.
I have the feeling, that i am metabolizing Vraylar very fast, because the side effects are huge at the moment. I have regulary belly cramps and pressure in my head.
The brain zaps are mostly gone.

The problem with long-term fasts is that any manner of drug (even those taken several years ago) start to come through the kidneys and the pressure buildup in some cases can be extreme.

Somewhere along my fast, the pressure hit my kidneys and I honestly felt like I was going to blow up. The feeling passed within less than an hour, so I managed alright.

Was thinking you might be better off waiting a little more before you fast or whatever, but it seems you're managing just fine.

That's actually good. I don't need any of those toxins in my body. So, even if the rest of Invega comes out, the better for me. By the way, i am mostly lying in bed, but feel totally good (like childhood feelings).
 
I have a wave right now. My whole head is like under pressure. I am not able to concentrate. I am very moody.
It's the same shitty working mechanism like Invega.
It comes in waves... so basically you feel like shit for 1 Day good for 1 Day and perhaps normal for 2 Days.
 
Today was Day 16 of fasting. Woke up in the morning with a depressed mood.
I am not sure what it was. I have also lots of pressure in my head. I am somewhat feeling the good old depression prior Vraylar unfortunately. But hey, everything better that looking like a zombie.
