Hi everyone I've had a problem because of using marijuana with Invega sustenna, and I was wondering if anyone could give me advice about what I should do.
So about November 21st 2012 I smoked pot while I was on risperdone consta(yeah I know it wasnt sustenna), and I had a really messed up time. Extreme anxiety, and almost feeling like my body was too crohawded for me to fit into it was something I felt. Ever since then I've had a hell of a time getting back to normal, and nothing seems to work. I had prior to that smoked pot with Invega sustenna, and it wasnt good but the effects went away fast enough. My doctor has switched my dosage twice from 25 mg of consta to 37.5 to 50, now he has put me back on sustenna, but even that doesnt work. My delusional thoughts have returned in full force since I smoked the pot, except when I voice them to other people, at those times they sound ridiculous, but inside they dominate me. It's a really bad situation, between the panic attacks, the anxiety, and schizo type thoughts for lack of a better word I am paddling up shit creek. My doctor prescribed me with lorazopam for the anxiety but I would prefer not to have a dependancy on pills for something that may be able to be resolved in a better way. So my question is has anyone on Bluelight come across a situation like this whether it be their own experience or someone elses story that they heard, and what would they suggest I do so that I can restore my mental health, and sanity.
Thanks very much
P.S I can handle the schizo thoughts they don't bother me, it's the anxiety and physical stress that I feel, which I am really trying to get rid of. Not only that but when I live without anxiety, and stress I feel like that in turn diminishes the schizophrenia.
Thanks again.
