I was on high dose risperdal and zyprexa for about a year, quit cold turkey and experienced no withdrawal at all. Felt better in fact.
there all shit. Most psychiatrists are in it for the money
It's very easy to blame others about something you have no fucking clue about. Neuroleptics were actually discovered by random chance in the 1950s, and their antipsychotic properties were also discovered by random chance.just about everyone i know, whether they took anti-psycotics or stuff like invega susstenna hated it. Honestly dude i think they just use them to make us morons. I dont know / schizaffective
This is the only true answer here.They only prescribe them because theres nothing else to prescribe
My ex neighbor was badly schizophrenic he wouldn't be accepted in any treatment facilities or residences where his meds were controlled by others. So hemfot put in his own apartment with control over his meds.Antipsychotics are such a fucking piece of shit invention, it makes me mad just to think about it.
Metabolic risks, increasing chance of cardiovascular disease, crazy withdrawals, huge psychotic spikes while off the medication, worsening depression, gods the list is so fuckin long ...
So many psychiatrists keep insisting this stuff is safe, but in my job I've seen the opposite. Especially long-term (1 year+) users can basically never get off this stuff again, it's hard as hell.
Depending on how bad your initial psychosis/depression/schizophrenia is, I'd just leave it be if it's not that bad(by which I mean no harm to others or yourself). You'll get a lot better results with pure psychology or alternative treatments. Because usually, once you get off the drug, your condition will worsen, and you'll need the drug again.
I mean, if you need a medication, you need a medication. There's lots of cases where they're just neededMy ex neighbor was badly schizophrenic he wouldn't be accepted in any treatment facilities or residences where his meds were controlled by others.

The landlord is quite tolerant of mentally disabled tenants. Never got evicted after multiple noise complaints that required A LOT of cops to get his attention. Other incidents happened which also caused a ton of cops to show up for 1 dude who wasn't even violent.
He finally got evicted after calling in a bomb threat then calling the cops to tell them he did it...I laughed pretty hard when I heard about that.
He definitely needs antipsychotics
I know, I was prescribed suboxone because of kratom use. Dose went up to 30mg daily and the only effect was shitting out concrete.I mean, if you need a medication, you need a medication. There's lots of cases where they're just needed
But too often they are just prescribed to just about anyone, and if you didn't have serious problems before, you're going to have them after.
