Hi,i was injected with zuclopenthixol and took quetiapine My doctor tapered the quetiapine from higher dosages down to 50 mg witch i took for 1 month and got off,then i was hit with psychosis for the first time I think i had neurotransmitters supersensitivity Im curently on 200 mg Im planning to to a very slow taper off to 50 mg quetiapine by removing 2 mg each month and when i reach 25 mg remove 1 mg per month (aprox 3 years or even more of tapering I need help Do receptors adjust back to pre medication state during a very slow taper like this? I did not had psychosis pre medication,it was induced by antipsychotics -
Initially I was diagnosed way back in 1977 when I made my first acquaintance with our mental health care system. A very bad acquaintance which sadly lasted for 40 years. I have childhood trauma which never has been touched upon. In that time all sorts of terrible drugs have been shoved down my throat by all sorts of terrible psychiatrists. Recently I tapered off the AD cipralex ( Escitalopram) over 2 months, from 10mg to zero. I am still on anti-psychotic , tapered from 30mg to 6mg in 7 years. The AD withdrawal symptoms are so bad. Crying a lot of the time, depressed, nausea , all sorts of pains in the body, including my feet. I guess I am experiencing waves , no windows lately. Everything is just bad. Anger, irritability,no appetite. It's really so awful. I have gained confidence, though, that it will all end some day, by reading these posts.I guess I'll just have to persevere. I am not going back on any drugs. I refuse. I don't even consult my doctor bc they are all just drug pushers and I don't want to listen to their crap. I've bought some cannabis oil I'll start on soon. It won't harm I'm sure. I take a lot of supplements, including fish oil, turmeric, glucosamine, calcium and c, d and b vitaminer. I've taken supplements for years. I have a pretty staple healthy diet, don't weight too much and generally get a lot of exexcise by walking and commuting. I don't work anymore ( for years) I will have to consult a specialist when I come off the last anti-psychotic dose. Bc that has proven difficult the last few mgs. I will wait until I'm well over the AD withdrawal. I am healthy physically but have little or no network or family for support. Am very much a loner. And that is probably the main issue, not depression or anything else. But loneliness . I quit the AD bc they didn't help much,they made me angry, irrational, depressed and suicidal. AD is not the solution to loneliness.
